Conditions at Taronui Bay in April
April: Offshore Winds and Autumn Edge
April sees the highest ideal wind percentage of any month - 30% - as subtropical high pressure drifts north and the first strong frontal systems brush the country. That translates to more frequent SSE/S/SSW/SW offshore breezes and a cleaner presentation at Taronui. Average swell eases slightly to 1.2m (4ft) at 9.4s, with ENE (28.8%) and E (21.8%) still the main energy source. The favourable N/NNW/NW share is 16.3%, and while that is not huge, the combination of lined-up swell, lower air temps of 17.9°C and still-warm 19.9°C water makes April one of the more reliable windows for quality down the beach.
