Conditions at Tullan Strand in March
March: Winter Tenacity, Spring Light
March is a transition month, but the surf still packs a punch. Average swell height eases slightly to 5ft (1.5m), while the period holds at 11.9s, keeping waves powerful enough to break with authority on Tullan's west-northwest-facing sandbars. The swell distribution still shows a strong WNW lean (30%), with NW (15%) and W (19%) also doing heavy lifting. Around 28% of the time the wind comes from the offshore east through southeast quadrant, and those days deliver some of the cleanest, most underrated sessions of the spring, often with lighter winds than midwinter. Air temperatures climb a little to 5.7°C, water temp remains cold at 8.3°C, and precipitation eases to 3.27mm/day. If you pick the offshore windows, March can still throw out firing, head-high-to-overhead waves before the spring energy fades.
