Puerto Escondido in April
Shoulder
The pivot month: real heat arrives, surf season begins, and once Semana Santa clears, the town exhales.
Weather
The hot-dry crescendo — expect the year’s fiercest sun with little rain relief yet. Siesta architecture exists for this month.
Sea & surf
Surf season opens: south swells begin lighting Zicatela and pushing La Punta beyond beginner-friendly on bigger days. Coves remain the swim answer.
What's on
Post-Easter lull = the value window. Bioluminescence excellent in the heat on dark nights.
