April: The Swell Engine Rumbles
The Southern Ocean begins to wake up in earnest during April. Average waves build to 1.8m (6ft) and the period makes a significant jump to 12.2s - the onset of proper winter groundswell. The WSW and W swell combination remains dominant, churning out consistent 1-2m (3.5-6.5ft) lines with the occasional solid 2.5m+ (8ft+) sneaker set. The wind statistics now lean clearly in your favour: the ESE direction is the most common wind at over 20 percent, and ideal offshore flow is present 53 percent of the time. This is the month when the Wedge starts to earn its name, with long-period lines wrapping into the sand and producing wedgy, bowly sections that make it all worthwhile.
