Conditions at Mooloolaba in April
April: The Wind Starts to Turn
April is the first true transition month. Average swell remains solid at 5-6ft (1.7m) with an 8.8s period, driven by ESE (36.5%), E (24.1%) and SE (19.2%) swells. The trades are still present, but there is a noticeable uptick in southerly and southwesterly winds. SE winds blow 25.1% of the time, SSE 20.7% and ESE 12.1%, yet WSW, SW, SSW and W winds now combine for roughly 10% of the observations. That lifts ideal wind frequency to 15%, the best since summer began. Water temp drops to 24.9°C, air temp averages 22.4°C, and rainfall eases to 3.77mm/day. It's still inconsistent, but the first clean morning sessions start appearing.
