Conditions at The Pass in March
March: First Taste of Autumn
March signals the first true meteorological shift. As the high pressure ridge strengthens over the Tasman Sea, the SSE-SW quadrant now supplies 28.7% of all winds, and ideal conditions climb to 18% of the time. The 5.5ft (1.7m) average swell remains, but the period has gained a second - 9.1s - and the ESE/SE directions (ESE 29.4%, SE 19.5%) come with genuine groundswell texture.
This is a transitional month that rewards flexibility. Water remains warm at 25.2°C (77°F), average air temp is 24.1°C (75°F), and rain eases to 5.19mm/day as the monsoon trough retreats. The northern quadrant winds have dropped to 25.3% of the record, meaning more days where The Pass lines up clean. Expect consistent 3-5ft (1-1.5m) E-ESE surf with frequent offshore windows - the first hint of winter's rhythm.
