April: The Sweet Spot of Autumn
April is where Cabarita starts to hit its stride. The average swell height is around 3-4ft (1.1m), the average period stretches to 8.6 seconds, and the direction is almost perfect: E (36%), ESE (34%) and SE (17%) make up the bulk of the spectrum, with a useful 7% from ENE. You still get that lingering summer east swell, but now it arrives with more period and more consistency from southern Tasman Sea lows.
The wind is the big story. Ideal offshore conditions jump to 45%, with S and SSW winds accounting for 27% and the southwest-to-west quadrant adding another 9.8%. This is a major shift from the summer sea breeze regime. Many days you get cross-offshore or offshore winds in the morning, a lighter NE sea breeze in the afternoon, and a much higher percentage of clean, lined-up surf. Air temps average 22.6°C, water drops to 24.5°C, and rainfall falls to 3.15mm/day. This is no longer a dawn-patrol-only month.
