Conditions at Bundoran in March
March: Equinox Energy
March keeps the Atlantic engine running, with an average swell height of 5ft (1.5m) and a still-powerful 11.9s period. The swell rose shows a broad spread of winter energy: WNW leads the way at over 30 percent, with solid W and NW contributions as well. A greater share of size sits in the 1-1.5m range, but the 1.5-2m and 2-2.5m classes remain well represented, offering a mix of fun rippable waves and heavier, more challenging days.
Winds are a bit more variable in March as early spring weather systems alternate with high pressure. The ideal offshore wind percentage is 28 percent, so clean conditions still show up regularly, often under crisp skies and with lengthening daylight. Sea surface temperature is 8.3°C, while average air temperature rises to 5.7°C - still full winter rubber, but the first hint of spring is in the air.
