Conditions at Los Patos in April
April: Shoulder Season with Bite
April still delivers decent waves, but the Atlantic engine is losing steam. Average swell height drops to 5ft (1.6m) and the period slides to 11.0s. The direction distribution remains favorable: NNW at 43.6%, NNE at 19.8%, N at 15.0% and NW at 12.8%. The beach remains exposed to the full spectrum of north energy, and the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) size classes dominate, giving a mix of rippable and punchy waves.
The biggest issue is wind reliability: the ideal-wind window drops to only 16% in April. NE builds to 23.8%, NNE to 16.0% and ENE remains at 15.2%, meaning there are plenty of days with cross-shore texture. Still, when a S/SW offshore breeze lines up with that NNW groundswell, April can deliver fun, hollow sessions. Air temperatures are mild at 17.9°C, water temperature is 19.3°C, and precipitation is dry at 0.53 mm/day.
