Conditions at Fitzroy Beach in April
April: The Calm Before the Winter Storm Track
April is the gateway to the firing winter season. Swell averages 1.8m (6ft) at 12.3s, and the clean wind percentage remains at 25 percent - the best combination of size and quality since the calendar flipped. WSW leads the swell direction with around 45 percent, but there is a stronger S/SW undercurrent, adding more push and the occasional heaving set. The height distribution shifts toward 1.5-2m (5-6ft) and 2-2.5m (6-8ft), with the first real taste of overhead winter energy. Rain increases to nearly 4mm/day and air temps cool to 14°C (57°F), but water is still a workable 18°C (64°F). Catch an ESE offshore flow around a low pressure system and April can drop some genuinely firing waves on the banks.
