March: The Autumn Transition Adds Length and Power
March is where the Southern Ocean starts to wake up. Average swell height remains similar at 6ft (1.9m), but the average wave period jumps from below 12 seconds to 12.5 seconds - a sign that longer-fetched, better-organized groundswell is arriving. Swell direction is still mostly SSW/SW at around 66% combined, yet the WSW sector begins to build to nearly 6%, and W direction appears more regularly. This subtle westward shift is exactly what North Point wants to see.
The wind picture improves too. Ideal surfing wind increases to 18% of the time, with the E/SE quadrant carrying roughly 37% frequency. However, usable days still hinge on the mornings; afternoon S/SSE winds often add texture. Air temperatures average a pleasant 20.0°C, water remains warm at 21.1°C, and rainfall picks up a little to 0.79 mm/day. March is a genuine shoulder month where North Point begins to transition into its best season.
