Haven't been in to Portland Roads myself - but if you can't get to Bathurst Heads cause of the wet - its pretty likely that you wouldn't get into the Portland Roads/Chilli Beach either - its much further up the Peninsula Development Road (level with Weipa) which is rarely open by April if there has been any sort of Wet. And even if that road is open you have to cross the Wenlock and the pascoe rivers which can be quite high for a fair while after the end of the wet (My brother is in weipa and earlier this year they did a trip from the crossing down to Moreton station on the wenlock by boats and they had to keep a check on the river height so they could go at the right time (too high = not as many fish, too low = having to drag the boats half way) think it was in May from memory - and we had an early wet this year)
Also Portland Roads is much more exposed to the South Easterly Trade Winds - so if its blowing you are very restricted in what you can do - whereas there's pretty much somewhere you can fish at Bathurst Heads whereever the wind is blowing from, except maybe in strong northerlies - which would be very rare at that time of year up here.
