Conditions at Artiglieria in March
March: Lining Up the Last Winter Lows
March is the transition month where winter energy starts to fade, but the swell direction becomes even more westerly. Average height is 2ft (0.6m), period 5.6s, and the WSW/W window makes up over 41% of the spectrum, with SSW and SW adding another 25%. More than two-thirds of the waves arrive from the optimal quadrant, which increases the odds of a good wall. The problem is still wind: ideal offshore frequency is only 13%, and afternoon WSW/W sea breezes often wreck conditions. Early mornings with NNO/NO/ONO/O flow are the play. Air temperature climbs to 10.0°C, sea surface water temperature holds at 14.2°C, and precipitation drops to 2.00 mm/day. With a bit of patience, March can still serve up clean 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) surf before the spring high pressure takes over.
