March: Spring Transition
March brings the start of the transition period. Average swell height drops slightly to 0.7m (2.3ft) with a 5.3s period, and while W (23.8%) and WSW (15.1%) remain the primary swell directions, the percentage of larger, longer-period waves is dwindling. Offshore winds are still present - ENE (11.5%), E (9.6%) and NE (8.6%) - but the ideal wind frequency falls to 27%. Sea surface holds at 14.2°C with air temps warming to 12.6°C. The surf is still rideable but more inconsistent; look for the tail ends of passing frontal systems to deliver punchy, short-period swell.
