Conditions at Inatel in April
April: Transitional Pulses and Shoulder-Season Potential
April marks the shift toward the shoulder season. Average wave height drops to 2-3ft (0.8m) and the average period falls to 9.1s - no longer the long-period power of winter, but still enough to produce rideable, punchy conditions when the swell angle cooperates. The swell rose shows W at 24% and WNW at 19%, while WSW jumps to 15% and SW adds almost 7%, giving Inatel a decent share of south-to-southwest energy.
NNW remains the dominant wind at 19%, and there is a strong NW component at 14%, so many mornings start offshore. The problem is decreasing swell size and period. Air temperatures warm to 15.8°C, precipitation is 1.82 mm/day, and water temperature rises to 16.5°C. April can still be fun, but you have to pick the windows.
