Conditions at Habitat 67 in March
March: Thaw Is on the Horizon, But Not the Swell
March brings the first real relief from extreme cold, with average air temps rising to -3.3°C and max temps reaching 22.8°C. The ice begins to break up, but the swell charts remain stubbornly empty: 0.0m heights and 0.0s periods in every direction. Winds are more evenly spread this month, with WSW and WNW each sitting near 11%, and W at 12.7%. This provides a better mix of offshore and cross-shore flow, and the offshore quadrant total climbs to around 26%, the highest of the winter months. That could groom any local windswell into marginally cleaner shape, but no swell generation is present. Local river surface waves are tiny, wind-driven, and rarely above knee-high. Precipitation at 2.36 mm/day often arrives as rain or wet snow, so if you must check it, bring a thick hood.
