April: First Real Turn Toward Winter
April is when the trade-wind dominance begins to weaken. Clean-window frequency edges up to 16%, and while SE (25.1%) and SSE (20.7%) are still the dominant winds, the appearance of more southerly and south-westerly flow begins to combat the onshore breeze. Swell energy remains good: ESE (33.1%) and E (28.7%) with 19.1% from SE, holding the average height at 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) and period at 8.4s. Expect plenty of 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) waves with the occasional bigger SE/ESE pulse from distant Tasman lows. Water temperature drops to 24.7°C, making the winter change visible. It is a transition month, but the quality trend is clearly upward.
