Conditions at Vorupör in March
March: Shoulder-Season Size with a Spring Cleanse
March is the last month of the true winter window in western Jutland. The average swell height steps down slightly to 5ft (1.6m) and the period still holds at 7.2s, but the swell roses show an impressive concentration of good directions: WNW (13.2%), NW (10.9%), NNW (2.6%) and N (0.8%) make up over 27% of all observations - the highest 'quality-direction' percentage of the winter season. There's plenty of rideable 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf from the WNW/NW quadrant, and the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) band is still well represented. Wind is a mixed bag: WNW (9.0%) and W (9.2%) are the most frequent, but SSW/SW winds also pick up as the ocean starts to warm. Offshore ESE/SE/SSE/S flow sits near 23%, and the ideal wind score improves to 13%. This is a classic transition month: powerful low-pressure fronts still roll through, but occasional days with light south winds begin to show up, making the sandbars look remarkably clean. Water temperature is a bone-chilling 4.1°C and air temperatures average 4.0°C, so spring optimism only goes so far - you'll still need a full winter suit.
