Conditions at Express Point in March
March: Autumn Groundswell Awakens
March is the first real sign that winter is coming. The average swell height remains 4.6ft (1.4m), but the average period jumps to 12.0s, and the ideal wind window expands to 21 percent. Swell direction is still SW-dominant at 52 percent, with SSW at 22 percent and WSW at 6 percent; the occasional stronger low in the Southern Ocean starts adding more 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) pulses. More importantly, the wind field begins to shift: NNW flow becomes more common, and the persistent summer S/SSW sea-breeze core weakens. Surf quality improves as a result, especially when an N/NE offshore breeze cleans up the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) lines. Water temperature is still a mild 18.8°C, making this a very pleasant transition month for Express Point.
