April: Groundswell Season Takes Hold
April is where Maroubra starts to feel like a proper surfing beach. The average period climbs to 9.4s, the ideal-wind score rises to 31 percent, and the swell spectrum becomes increasingly southern: SSE (19 percent), SE (17 percent), S (12 percent), ESE (14 percent) and E (13 percent). Long-period S and SSE groundswell wraps into the east-facing beach, producing clean, grinding walls in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range. On the wind front, NNW (9 percent), S (13 percent), SSW (8 percent) and the west quadrant (SW, WSW, W, WNW and NW combined around 24 percent) all become significant, meaning many days with offshore or cross-offshore flow. Water temp eases to 22.4°C, air temps are mild at 19.6°C, and rain is lower at 2.28mm/day. This is the classic autumn surf month before the winter crowds arrive.
