April: Long-Period Southern Groundswell and Maximum Clean-Wind Days
April's stats reveal a full transition: SSW swell now accounts for 61% of the direction distribution, while the average wave period sits at a strong 13.7s. The NNE/NE swell that dominated winter is fading, but the spot still gets the odd NE pulse (4-5%). More importantly, offshore wind reliability peaks with 46% ideal conditions, allowing longer-period SSW/S energy to wrap and refract into the bay in clean lines. It is a funny month: technically the swell direction is less ideal, yet the lack of onshore wind makes it one of the most user-friendly months of the year. Expect fun, rippable waves around 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m), with bigger 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) sets when the SSW groundswell peaks. Water temp 28.7°C; daytime air maxing at 35.7°C.
