Conditions at Anton Lizardo in March
March: Spring Arrives, Swell Lingers
March is the bridge between winter and spring. Average swell dips slightly to 1.0m and the period shortens to 6.4s, but the north-facing spot still catches plenty of eligible swell. The optimal N/NNE/NE/NNW quadrants supply just over half the wave energy, although ENE becomes the single most dominant swell direction at 33.4%. This produces more low-end, choppy, short-period surf as the trade-wind regime strengthens. NNW wind drops to 18.3%, while ENE winds climb to 15.4%, creating mixed conditions. Still, 21% of the time an offshore S-to-SSW breeze will align, offering clean, rippable peaks around 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m). Air temperatures warm to 24.8°C, and the water sits at 24.8°C, making the spring transition pleasant, if less consistent.
