April: The Southern Shift Sets In
April delivers the first true autumn setup. Dominant swell directions fan out across the southern compass, with SSE (11.9%), S (11.1%) and SSW (10.7%) becoming just as common as the fading NE/ENE swells (still ~19% combined). The wind story is cleaner: SW (14.5%) and SSW (12.6%) now outnumber by 2-to-1 the NNE/NE winds. Ideal time jumps to 31%. The period stretches to 9.1s, and average wave height holds at 5-6ft (1.7m). The rivermouth starts to handle these longer-period pulses with more shape, especially on NE combos under a firm SW offshore. Water temps ease to 19.7C.
