April: Southern Pulse Meets Offshore Flow - Quality Rises
April is one of the more reliable months on the Whale Beach calendar. Ideal offshore wind jumps to 41%, with WSW 5.3%, W 5.2%, WNW 5.5%, NW 6.3% and SW 5.8% all contributing. The average swell height holds at 1.4m (4.6ft) while the period lengthens to 9.2s. Directionally, SE 20.7%, SSE 20.5%, ESE 18.7%, E 15.8%, S 8.1% and ENE 8.5% make up most of the energy. While SSE/S is not the absolute optimal ENE-E-ESE-SE angle, the mix of south groundswell with the still-healthy E/ESE component gives the beach a consistent, working surf. The 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range is most common, but there are frequent 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) sets from the SE/SSE directions. Water temp is 22.0°C, air temp 18.4°C and rainfall is only 2.3mm/day. This is the classic month for clean, lined-up waves on the east-facing banks.
