Conditions at Andora in March
March: Spring Mix and Fewer Clean Edges
March sees the first signs of spring and the surf becomes a little more intermittent. Average swell height dips to around 2ft (0.5m) and average period drops to 5.4s. SSW swell still leads the chart with 27.6 percent, SW follows at 18.0, and there is a noticeable uptick in ESE/SE swell at 14.4 percent as the sea breeze regime begins to develop. This southeast component is the bad news for Andora: it is directly onshore and often associated with messy windswell. NNW wind drops to 21.1 percent, while NNE and N contribute another 19 percent, yet the ideal-surfing percentage remains 14 percent. The balance has shifted away from the perfect winter setup. Still, when a late-season low-pressure system sits over the Gulf of Genoa, March can deliver clean, punchy 3ft (1m) peaks on the better SSW/SW sets. Air temperatures climb to 9.4°C and water temperature stays cold at 13.5°C; rainfall is moderate at 1.73mm per day, so the mountains around Andora often shelter the bay from the worst weather.
