Conditions at Les Culs Nuls in March
March: Spring Transition with Winter Teeth
March is a transition month, but winter still has plenty of bite. Average wave height slips to about 5ft (1.6m), while the period remains in the long-range at 12.2s. Swell direction is split almost evenly between WNW and NW, together adding up to roughly 80% of the wave energy. Most waves fall in the 1-2m (3.3-6.6ft) band, with a noticeable drop in oversized XXL days compared to January and February. Winds turn more fickle: ideal offshore flow drops to 31% and strong NNW and NW winds begin to dominate the wind rose. Air temperatures nudge up to 9.8°C and water is 12.5°C. As the jet stream weakens, the windows of clean surf become shorter, but the combination of long-period WNW swell and a spring ridge can still deliver excellent, hollow peaks. Bring the hood and be ready to move quickly.
