Conditions at Windang Island in March

March: First Real Offshore Turn

March is where autumn begins to rearrange the synoptic deck. Average swell size holds at around 6ft (1.7m) but the average period jumps to 9.3s, and ideal wind percentage improves to 25%. The E/ESE/SE/SSE swell family remains dominant at about 67%, with ENE still contributing 12%; the biggest slab of energy sits in the 3-6.5ft (1-2m) range, and SSE produces a healthy share of 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) sets. NNW winds are common at 12.1%, while S winds appear 13.2% of the time, so clean surf often comes in pulses between fronts and sea breezes. As the ocean still holds summer warmth at 22.8°C, this is a great transition month for lining up offshore E/ESE swell. Air temperatures average 18.7°C (min 7.8°C, max 37.9°C) and rainfall averages 3.18 mm/day.
