Conditions at Lagkouvardos in March
March: Spring Transition with Winter Leftovers
March is the last true month of winter surf, but the energy is beginning to fade. Average wave height is still a respectable 3ft (0.9m) with a 6.0s period, and ideal offshore wind is present 17% of the time. The direction mix is very western: WNW (16.6%), W (16.1%), WSW (16.0%) and NW (14.5%) dominate, but the height distribution has shifted down, with most of that swell falling in the 1-5ft (0.3-1.5m) range rather than the bigger winter bands. The strong westerly component is good for the exposed beach, though the short-period nature of the swell means a grovel-friendly board will get more use than a step-up. Air temperatures climb to 12.2°C and water holds at 15.5°C, so sessions are more comfortable. March can still produce true winter swells when cold air plunges into the Mediterranean, especially if the offshore E/NE wind arrives alongside a passing cold front.
