March: The Longest Periods, The Wrong Angle
March is a transitional month with the longest average wave period of the year so far at 13.5s. The average swell height nudges up to 0.9m (2.7ft). Yet the directional data is a harsh reminder that quality is about more than energy - SSW swells alone provide 67.6% of the wave distribution, with S adding another 20.8%. ENE to SE optimal swell only accounts for around 1% of the total. On the bright side, offshore winds are exceptional: the WNW and NW combined blow over 34% of the time, and ideal wind conditions hit 83%. This means the spot is often glassy and inviting, but the wave energy arrives with the wrong geometry, leaving mostly flat sections and closeouts. Water temperature creeps up to 21.3°C while air temps reach 21.4°C. The lucky few east-angled pulses that sneak in during frontal transitions will be worth the wait - powerful, long-period and perfectly groomed.
