April overview

The ocean in April

April opens several of the year’s key seasons. Fiji’s surf season typically begins, Indonesia transitions into its dry season, the Maldives often offers a strong combination of surf and diving, and Portugal and Madeira warm up for spring.

Climate and conditions

Southern-hemisphere swells start to build in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Costa Rica’s dry season is ending; Atlantic Europe is changeable but warming.

For European travellers

Easter holidays make April a natural long-haul window for families and couples. Book early for school-holiday dates.
