Conditions at Tres Palmas in April
April: Clean Shoulder Season
April marks the first meaningful step down in size, but the quality remains friendly. The average swell height drops to 1.3m (about 4ft) and the period settles at 9.6s, though the NE direction now accounts for 36.6 percent of the energy and ENE adds 25.9 percent. There is still a scattering of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) waves from the NNE and NE, but the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class is the bread and butter. Wind is ideal 70 percent of the time, with ENE (24 percent), E (18.2 percent) and NE (14 percent) holding the surface clean. Water temp has crept up to 27.0°C and air temps to 26.4°C. April is a great month for a mid-length or a performance shortboard-the power is down, but the waves are far from flat.
