Conditions at Los Quebrantos in April
April: Transition and Trade-Offs
April is a transition month at Los Quebrantos. Average swell height drops to 1.3m (4.3ft) and period eases to 10.7s, but there is still plenty of northwest energy in the water - NW at 39.3% and NNW at 27.2% are the big players. The wind becomes the issue: ideal conditions fall to 40%, and the NE-ENE quadrant strengthens to a combined 23.8% as the Azores High builds westward. Those onshore/cross-shore breezes can put a cap on otherwise clean NW groundswell. The ocean is still cool at 13.7°C, air temps warm to 11.4°C on average, and rainfall sits at 2.60mm/day. If you find a morning with light offshore S/SW flow, the NW/ NNW swell will still deliver punchy, lined-up waves worthy of a hooded 4/3mm.
