Conditions at Surfer's Beach in April

April: Transition to Grovel Mode

April marks the shift into lower energy. Average wave heights dip to 4ft (1.3m) and the mean period backs off slightly to 9.6s. The swell still contains a decent NNE component at 21%, but the main action rotates to NE and ENE, which are less efficient for Surfer's Beach's NNW orientation. The good news: clean wind days are more frequent, with ideal wind at 36% of the time as the trades relax and S/SSW afternoon sea breezes develop. Water temperature climbs to 26.9°C, air to 26.1°C, and rainfall edges upward to 2.56mm/day. Expect fun, rippable if unspectacular surf, with the occasional longer-period swell still pushing through from the north.
