Conditions at K59 in March
March: The Swell Steps Up
March is where the Southern Hemisphere storm track really starts feeding energy north. Average swell height ticks up to 1.1m (3.6ft) and the average period jumps to 13.4 seconds - firmly in the powerful, long-period class. SSW swell is now the clear boss, delivering 66.5% of all energy, while S adds 22.3% and SW 6.5%. More importantly, the bulk of the swell is in the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) class, making the waves feel solid and rippable rather than groveling. The wind is still mostly from the northern quadrant, led by NW at 13.5%, NNE at 12.9%, NNW at 10.0% and NE at 7.5%, though the ideal-wind percentage eases to 58%. With air temperatures around 27.7°C, water temperature at 28.6°C and only 0.21mm per day of rain, the conditions are warm, clean and increasingly powerful.
