Conditions at Aramoana in April
April: Winter Swells Knock Louder
April is a true transition month. Average wave height holds at 6-7ft (2.0m) but period stretches to 11.4s, and the SSW and S swells become dominant, making up more than 35% of the wave spectrum. For Aramoana, this is marginal directional swell; the beach needs the N-ENE component, which still contributes just enough to keep hopes alive. The good news is that ideal offshore wind potential improves to 26%, with WSW and SW breezes helping clean up the surface between autumn fronts. Water temp drops to 12.7°C, air temps average 11.4°C, and rain averages 1.85 mm/day. Expect more stormy windows, but also some glassy dawn patrols when the wind shifts offshore and the long-period SSW swell wraps around the headland.
