Conditions at Arma di Taggia in March
March: Spring Mix, Still Worth a Paddle
March holds on to winter surf momentum even as the season begins to transition. Average swell height drops a touch to 0.5m (1.6ft) and period to 5.4s, but the mix of swells broadens, with SSW (27.6%), SW (18.0%), S (10.0%) and ESE/SE (14.4% combined) all in the mix. The direct-angle S/SE quadrant is actually at 29.9%, the highest of the winter months, so more of that swell reaches Arma di Taggia unimpeded. Winds are less consistently offshore - ideal N/NW flow only 12% - and NE/ENE winds add lumpiness at times. On the bright side, spring lows in the Tyrrhenian can still line up with a dry NW outflow, and those days can deliver clean, rippable 1-1.5m waves. Water temperatures are stable around 13.5°C, so a 4/3 hooded wetsuit remains the norm.
