Conditions at Snapper Rocks in April
April: Offshore Winds and Clean Lines
April is one of the cleanest months of the year. Ideal wind reaches 61%, with SSE (18.9%), S (18.8%) and SSW (8.3%) providing the offshore push that Snapper craves. Swell direction broadens a little - E (36.0%), ESE (33.7%), SE (16.8%) - but the period stays solid at 8.6s and average height is 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m). The mix of E/ESE/SE swell feeds the point from multiple angles and keeps it looking full.
Rainfall drops to 2.97mm/day, making it much drier than the summer months. Air temps average 14.9-27.9°C and water is still 24.7°C, so a spring suit is comfortable. This combination of offshore wind, moderate groundswell and dry weather makes April a go-to for quality sessions.
