March: The Autumn Shift Begins
March is the first solid sign of autumn in the South Atlantic. The average period stretches to 8.6s and the swell rose becomes more organized: ESE dominates at 28.6%, E at 22.6%, SE at 21.0% and SSE at 12.9%. Average height remains 1.2m (4ft), but a larger portion of ESE/SE swell sits in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) band, so the beach starts to feel more powerful. Ideal wind holds at 49%, with a growing number of SW/W wind events signaling passing cold fronts. Air temps cool to 22.8°C and water stays warm at 24.9°C, while rainfall drops to 4.65mm/day. The combination of warm water and improving S/SE swell makes March a sneaky-good month.
