Conditions at Trigg Point in April
April: Reliable, Powerful and Probably the Pick of the Year
April is when Trigg Point truly fires. The Southern Ocean storm track is now fully engaged, bringing an average swell height of 6-7ft (2.0m) and a long, powerful period of 12.7s. Swell direction is ideal: SW dominates at 52.0%, WSW contributes 10.8%, and SSW still chips in 15.1%, giving the west-facing beach plenty of direct, organized groundswell. Even better, the wind regime cooperates far more often. Ideal offshore flow is present 42% of the time - a big jump from summer - and while SW/W storm winds still occur, they are less persistent than they will be in midwinter. The water is still pleasant at 22.0°C, with air temps around 20.5°C and modest rainfall. April is the month to plan around: solid 4-8ft waves, long-period energy, clean morning winds, and plenty of banks.
