Conditions at La Sud in March
March: Late Winter Fire, Spring Spice
March continues to deliver solid surf, with the average swell easing only slightly to 5ft (1.6m) and period still riding at a strong 12.2 seconds. The swell direction splits almost exactly between WNW (40.3%) and NW (40.6%), giving La Sud maximum exposure and reliability. Ideal offshore wind drops to 30% of the time, as spring starts to bring more NNW and NW wind into the mix - NNW alone accounts for 12% of wind observations. The good news is that the classic 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range still represents roughly a third of all swell energy, and the water remains a cool 12.5°C. With air temperatures slowly climbing to 9.8°C and precipitation at 2.6mm per day, March remains a strong pick for committed surfers who want winter power without the dead-cold extremes.
