March: First Taste of Clean Autumn Surf
March marks the beginning of the transition away from the windy summer regime. Average swell remains at 1.2m (4ft) and the period has crept up to 8.5s. E (44.5%) and ESE (30.0%) continue to dominate, with SE (12.7%) and ENE (7.4%) rounding out the mix. This is still a very productive swell window for the NE-facing point, and now the wind is starting to cooperate a little more: ideal offshore wind jumps to 18%.
The SE (22.1%) and SSE (19.3%) winds are still significant, but S (7.8%) plus SSW, SW and WSW combined at 3.7% provide more frequent clearing windows. Air temperature sits at 24.5 C (76 F), water at 25.6 C (78 F), and rainfall is down to 4.83 mm/day. Expect punchy, fun-sized waves in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range with the first real dawn sessions of the autumn.
