Conditions at Seccheto in March
March: The South Swell Spikes
March marks a turning point as SSE swell explodes to 15.6% of all wave energy, pushing the combined S-family total to 31.5%. The average swell height eases to 0.8m and the period remains 5.0s, so it's not bigger, just more often from the right direction. This is the first month where the Mediterranean starts to feel the pull of spring, but winter lows still prowl the basin. Wind is a mixed bag: NNW (12.7%) and NNE (8.3%) provide offshore windows, while SSE (12.9%) and SE (9.7%) blow onshore. With ideal wind at 9%, you need to be picky. Water stays cold at 13.9°C and air temps hover around 13.1°C, but increasing sunshine makes the shoulder season a decent trade-off.
