Conditions at Angourie in March
March: Autumn Transition and Cleaner Windows
March is where Angourie starts to turn the corner. Average swell height remains solid at 5-6ft (1.7m), while the average period reaches 9.0s, giving the waves a more organised, powerful feel. The swell direction is excellent, with ESE (28.2%) and E (24.1%) making up over half of the distribution. ENE (6.2%) and NE (2.2%) add a touch of more northerly energy, but the core of the trade-wind swell is still coming from the ideal E/ESE window.
Wind quality improves noticeably, with ideal conditions now 31% of the time. The south-southeast flow is still common - SSE (17.3%), SE (14.6%) and S (12.8%) dominate - but the offshore W/SW sector becomes more active, and morning W/NW windows are easier to find. With water temperature at 25.1°C and air temps dropping to 22.9°C, the atmosphere starts to feel less oppressive. Rain remains a factor at 5.47mm/day, but March is a solid transition month that rewards surfers who can read the changing wind.
