Conditions at Falasarna in March
March: Spring Transition, Still Enough Swell
March begins the gradual transition away from deep winter, but Falasarna does not give up on surf just yet. Average swell height dips slightly to 1.2m (4ft) and period drops to 6.1s, yet the W and WNW directions remain highly active, together accounting for over 36 percent of the wave spectrum. The percentage of clean offshore wind rises slightly to 14 percent, with ENE winds at 8.8 percent and E/ESE/SE winds adding another 5.9 percent. However, the stronger NE flow still dominates the wind rose, and the first taste of springtime WSW/onshore breezes can ruin an otherwise promising day. The Mediterranean is warming, with water temp at 15.7°C and air temps averaging 12.6°C, but precipitation is already declining (2.01mm/day), offering more comfortable sessions between cold fronts.
