Your April weather guide
WarmWeather in Lara Beach in April
April is a good choice for Lara Beach if you want mild days rather than a hot beach holiday. Average afternoon highs of 20°C suit time outdoors, but nights fall to 10°C, so pack layers rather than just summer clothes. The main catch is the sea: at 17.8°C, it is cold for swimming. Go for comfortable daytime warmth, with room in your plans for rain, rather than expecting reliable heat and long swims.

Daytime and night-time in April
The typical April day in Lara Beach peaks at 20.0°C, but that is an average: the warmest 10% of days reach 24.3°C or more. Roughly 1 in 15 days top 25°C and 1 in 125 pass 30°C. Nights average 10.0°C; one night in ten drops to 7.3°C or lower, so pack a layer for evenings - it is genuinely cool after dark. Between 1991 and 2020 the hottest April day here reached 32.9°C (2018-04-28) and the coldest night 1.7°C (1997-04-10).

Warm afternoons, but keep a layer handy
Plan around comfortably warm afternoons, not dependable sunbathing weather. The warmest 10% of days reach 24.3°C or more, but only 7% reach 25°C, so a hotter spell is a bonus rather than something to count on. Light clothes can work during the warmer part of the day, with a jumper or jacket for cooler spells and evenings. The coldest 10% of nights fall to 7.3°C or below, making an extra layer useful if you tend to feel the cold. April suits travellers who prefer being outdoors without relying on strong heat; it is less convincing if your priority is staying warm in beachwear from morning onwards.
Enjoy the sunshine, but leave room for wet weather
There is enough sunshine to make outdoor plans worthwhile: April averages about 7.5 hours a day within 13 hours of daylight. That does not mean every day will be clear, and about 8 rainy days make a light waterproof a sensible addition to your bag. Keep plans flexible rather than making every day depend on dry weather. The bigger limitation for a beach-focused trip is the water. The sea averages 17.8°C, with a year-to-year range of 17°C to 18°C, so it remains cold even towards the warmer end. Time beside the sea is a more comfortable proposition than a long swim, particularly if you dislike cold water.
