Conditions at La Lancha in April
April: Spring Swell Window Lines Up
April sees the most favorable swell direction of the year, with WSW accounting for 48% of the energy and SW another 22%. The average wave height is 3ft (1.0m), but the average period stretches to the annual high of 14.0s, meaning the swell that does arrive is long, clean and lined up for La Lancha. W drops to 26%, while WNW and NW fade to a combined 3%, so the ambiguous western energy of winter is replaced by a strong southwesterly component that breaks well on this SSW-facing beach.
Wind quality remains solid even as the winter pattern weakens. NNW supplies 39%, NW 25% and N 11%, keeping offshore flow in play 85% of the time. Air temperatures rise to 24.4°C, water sits at 24.8°C, and precipitation is almost nonexistent at just 0.06mm/day. April is a great month for smooth, long-period surf with plenty of southern direction in the water.
