March: The Autumn Switch Begins
March is the first real turning point of the year. Average swell height remains 5-6ft (1.7m), but the period lengthens to 9.2s and the ideal-wind frequency climbs to 27%.

The wind distribution shows the shift: NNW (6.2%), NW (2.9%), W (2.4%) and WNW (2.1%) are all more frequent than they were in February, though NE (11.3%), S (11.2%) and SSE (11.1%) remain common.
