Conditions at Golf Course Reef in March
March: Autumn Shifts the Balance
March is where the seasonal balance starts to tip. Average wave height holds at 6ft (1.8m), period ticks up to 8.7s, and ideal wind jumps to 35%. The E/NE swell window is still productive - NE, ENE, E and ESE total about 43% of wave energy - but the arrival of more W/SW winds keeps the reef cleaner more often. S/SE and SSE swell also begin to contribute, adding a different texture to the waves.
Air temperatures cool to 20.8°C while water temp remains warm at 21.7°C. Precipitation eases to 3.31 mm/day. March is not prime time yet, but the windows of clean surf are becoming longer and more predictable.
