Conditions at North Narrabeen in April
April: The Turn Towards Winter
April is when North Narrabeen starts to hit its straps. Offshore wind frequency climbs to 33%, average period reaches 9.4s, and the swell mix gains a deep S/SSE/SE groundswell component. SSE leads at 19.2%, SE at 17.3%, S at 11.6%, with E and ESE still adding plenty of mid-period energy. The wind tables show a strong increase in WSW, W, WNW, NW and NNW, providing more groomed, glassy surf. S and SSW winds still combine for over 19%, but these are less damaging than the summer NE sea breeze. Water temp cools to 22.3°C, air temp to 18.4°C, and rainfall drops to 2.34 mm/day. Expect cleaner, more powerful waves in the 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) range as winter swell trains begin to find the beach.
