Conditions at Juist in March
March: Fading Power, More Easterly Breezes
March is a transition month on Juist. Average swell heights ease to 3.3ft (1.0m) and periods slip to 5.7s as the Atlantic storm track starts to weaken. The direction distribution is still winter-like, with an impressive 18.1% of all waves arriving from the NNW and another 13.2% from the NW, but the size is noticeably smaller: a huge share of the NNW sea sits in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range. There are still occasional 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves, but they are less frequent. On the wind side, spring begins to bring more easterly winds, with ENE, E and ESE collectively taking up around a fifth of the observations. This is a bit of a double-edged sword: it cuts down the raw onshore northwesterly wind, but it also often means cross-offshore or side-shore conditions that make the small swell harder to ride. Ideal offshore flow remains rare at 6%. Air temperatures creep up to 4.9°C, water temp is 5.2°C and precipitation drops to 1.88 mm/day, making it a drier month but still very cold in the water.
