April: The Pick of Autumn - Cleaner Winds and Solid Groundswell
April is the first true sweet spot at North Point. The average swell rises to around 6.5ft (2.0m), the average period stretches to 12.8 seconds, and the direction spread starts to favor the west-facing beach. SW remains the dominant swell direction at 42%, but the more favorable WSW sector jumps to 12%, while W adds another 3%. That combination produces more bowled-up, lined-up surf than the summer months, with plenty of readings in the 1.5-2.5m range.
The wind is the big story. Ideal conditions reach 25% - the joint highest of the year - thanks to more frequent E/SE offshore flow as autumn high pressure systems settle in. E, ESE, SE and ENE combine for close to 33% of the wind rose, making clean offshore mornings a regular occurrence. Air temperatures ease to 18.7°C, water temperature remains a comfortable 20.7°C, and rainfall increases to 1.38 mm/day. If a window lines up in April, North Point is hard to beat.
