El Calafate-forum threads on a June visit describe this as genuinely workable despite being deep winter, posters calling cold, wind and short daylight real factors though most hotels and excursions keep running on a lighter schedule.

El Calafate-forum threads comparing March against April are fairly consistent March carries slightly better odds against an early system, though posters call April a genuinely solid pick for the Perito Moreno glacier boardwalks. Regulars describe conditions as chilly by day and properly cold once the sun drops, real winds a standing feature regardless of date. Posters call the wider Patagonia region reliably windy through the month, gear rated for real gusts worth prioritizing over pure warmth.
