Conditions at Careneros in April
April: Waning Power, Still Fun
April is the true shoulder month at Careneros. Average swell height eases to 1.0m (3ft), average period drops to 7.5s, and while the NE sector still controls 84.7 percent of the waves, the size shifts down - 38.5 percent falls in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) range and 38.9 percent in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) bracket. The good news is that 60 percent of the time the wind is ideal, with WNW and NW flows remaining predominant. This is a transition month: the winter dry season is fading, but the wet season has not yet taken full control. Rain edges up to 3.81mm/day and water temperature climbs to 28.7°C, so the air is warm and the still-clean NE swell is best ridden on a high-performance groveller.
