Punta Rocas • Statistics for April

April at Punta Rocas delivers consistent, powerful surf with an average swell height of 1.8m and a strong 14.5s period, making it ideal for experienced surfers. The swell is predominantly SSW (31.89% in the 1.5-2m range) and SW (21.50% in the same range), providing well-organized, long-period waves with solid energy. Smaller windows of S and WSW swells contribute occasional variety. However, wind conditions are often challenging, with only 2% of days offering ideal offshore winds. The prevailing winds are S (36.52% at 10-20kph) and SSE (9.21% at 10-20kph), frequently creating onshore chop or cross-shore disruptions. Stronger gusts (20-30kph) from the SE and S occur occasionally, further complicating sessions. Despite the wind issues, the spot’s exposure to deep-period SW swells ensures punchy, fast-breaking waves for skilled surfers—just expect to battle less-than-perfect wind on most days.
