Conditions at Warroora Station in April
April: Sweet Spot Shoulder Season
April is where the surf quality curve starts to climb. The average swell holds at 1.4m (4.6ft) while the period jumps to 13.1s - proper long-period groundswell. SSW and SW still dominate (40% and 49%), but the longer consistency and stronger west in the mix helps create more lined-up waves on the NW-exposed coast. Heights are mostly in the rippable 1-2m (3-6.5ft) range, with occasional 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) bombs.
The big story is wind. Ideal offshore conditions from E/ESE/SE/SSE climb to 25%, with SE and SSE combined at roughly 27% of all wind observations. This is a dramatic improvement over summer and makes April one of the more reliable months for clean conditions. Air temps are still pleasant at 26.7°C, water temp peaks at 26.8°C, and rainfall is low at 0.60mm/day. Autumn is definitely delivering.
