Conditions at Bogan River in April
April: The Gold Standard
April is peak Bogan River. The average swell height sits at 1.7m (5-6ft), the average period pushes to 13.0s, and the combination of strong SW/WSW swell direction with 28% offshore wind creates the best quality-to-size ratio of the year. A remarkable 83% of all swell energy arrives from the preferred west/south-west quadrant, and over 40% of all readings are in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range-powerful, lined-up and genuinely firing.
Wind data show the ideal NE to ESE offshore flow still occurring over a quarter of the time, and although onshore SW-WNW winds tick up to around 31%, the good windows are long enough to make it count. Water temperature remains a comfortable 19.1°C, with air temps around 17.6°C and 3.08mm/day of rain. April is the month that makes forecast-watching worth it.
