April: Southern Hemi Swell Starts to Fire
April is the first month where the southern-hemisphere storm track really makes itself known. Average swell height climbs to 1.3m (4ft) and average period peaks at 14.1 seconds - the longest of the year so far. SSW becomes the dominant swell direction with 70% of the energy, and just under a fifth of all waves are in the 5-8ft range, with a few sets reaching 6-8ft. That is pumping, head-high-plus surf. The limiting factor is wind: ideal wind is only 47%, and WSW (17.8%) and SW (15.1%) are the most frequent wind directions, many in the 10-20kph bracket. Early mornings before the sea breeze kicks up are definitely the best bet. Water is warm at 27.8°C and rainfall is essentially zero.
