March: Autumn Arrives and the Winds Soften
March is a transition month and one of the better summer-to-autumn bridge periods. The average swell remains around 3-4ft (1.2m) with the period easing slightly to 8.5 seconds. E and ESE swells combine for almost 75% of the wave energy, with E (44%) and ESE (30%) leading the charge. That means Cabarita has no shortage of well-directed swell lines wrapping into its banks.
The wind regime starts to improve, with ideal offshore W-SW flow now sitting at 29% of the time. The SE/SSE sea breeze still flexes, but there are more windows with west to southwest flow behind passing fronts. Air temperatures cool to 24.1°C and water sits at 25.4°C, while rainfall drops slightly to 5.19mm/day. It is a month where you still need to dodge the sea breeze, but the quality of the swell coming in is increasingly worth the effort.
