Conditions at Margaret River in April
April: The Magic Window of Autumn
April is where the Margaret River season really ignites. The average swell height bumps up to 2.0m (6.6ft) and the period stretches to 12.8s, bringing a serious step up in power. Swell direction is now decidedly SW (41.9%) and WSW (12.1%), with a much stronger W component than in summer. At the same time, the wind regime becomes infinitely friendlier: ideal surf wind jumps to 28%, the highest of the year. Winds are far more balanced and lighter, with E, ESE, SE and SSE flow sharing the spoils and onshore SW/W winds less prominent. That combination produces excellent surface conditions on the west-south-west facing breaks. Precipitation doubles to 1.38 mm/day and air temps cool to 18.7°C, but the ocean remains warm at 21.0°C, so the autumn offshore mornings are pure pleasure.
