Conditions at Pacifico in April
April: Trade Winds Begin to Weaken
April offers the first faint glimmers of hope. The average swell height eases to 1.1m, and the period is a rideable 9.4s. Still, the swell direction remains stubbornly ENE (66.3%) and NE (27.1%), which are not Pacifico's favorites. On the wind front, the trade winds start to soften-E wind drops to 28.5%, ENE to 24.5%, and ESE to 18.0%-but a hint of offshore flow appears from the W (1.0%) and WSW (1.0%). Ideal wind time tickles up to 4%, still low but a threefold increase from previous months. The bigger story is the dry season kicking in: precipitation drops to 5.84 mm/day, air temps rise to 27.8°C, and sea surface temp bumps to 28.6°C. April is a looking-glass month-it's not great, but you can see the light at the end of the monsoon tunnel. A few early morning glass-offs might produce the odd clean, lower-sized wave.
