Conditions at Jake's Point in April
April: The Real Groundswell Season Begins
April marks the real turning point at Jake's Point. The average period jumps to 11.5s, average height is a clean 5-6ft (1.6m), and the swell mix becomes more balanced: SSW is still the workhorse at 48%, but SW jumps to 26% and WSW contributes 4%. That means a higher percentage of waves arrive with the westerly component this WNW-facing beach demands.
Wind quality is the big winner. Ideal offshore conditions from the ESE-SE/E quadrant push up to 42%, with SE winds at 13.4%, ESE at 9.1%, E at 8.5% and ENE at 5.9%. The persistent summer S/SSE winds ease, leaving more groomed, glassy surf. Water temps are still warm at 23.6°C and air sits at 23.3°C; this is a serious candidate for the best month of the autumn.
