April: Fall Lines Are Longer
Autumn takes hold in earnest and Clubhouse starts to feel it, with the average swell height rising to 2.1m (6.9ft) and period extending to 11.7s. The principal swell direction continues to be SSW (27.8%), but SW is now also feeding in at 11.6% alongside S/SSE energy; the optimal E window is still small (2.3%). The wind field is more encouraging: WSW flow leads the pack at 18.8%, W contributes 11.7%, and SW adds 7.9%, meaning offshore and side-offshore conditions occur around 38% of the time. On the flip side, the bad E/ENE/ESE direction still accounts for 29.2%, so the seabreeze can easily trash a session. With a 24% ideal-wind frequency, April is a month of trade-offs, but the growing swell period gives the wave quality a lift. Water temp drops to 18.8°C, air temp averages 19.8°C.
