Conditions at Whale Beach in March
March: The First Real Offshore Windows Arrive
March is the beginning of the autumn transition. Ideal wind jumps to 26% as the subtropical ridge starts to migrate north and west/northwest winds become more common, with WSW 2.6%, W 2.6%, WNW 2.6%, NW 3.3% and SW 3.3% all on the board. Swell energy remains strongly in the optimal window: ESE 21.4%, E 21.0%, SE 20.0%, ENE 9.7% and SSE 18.6%. Average height is 1.4m (4.6ft) and average period moves up to 9.0s, giving cleaner shape to the 3-5ft waves. There are still plenty of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) pulses from the ESE/SE/SSE directions. Air temp drops to 21.0°C while water remains warm at 22.6°C, and precipitation averages 3.3mm/day. March produces fun, rippable surf with growing consistency, especially in the mornings before the seabreeze gets established.
