March: Spring Confidence Arrives
The surf season turns a corner in March. The average wave period reaches 12.6s, the ideal wind percentage climbs to 55 percent, and swell from the SSW becomes the dominant source at 44.3 percent. Combined with S swell (23.8 percent), the southern hemisphere window now drives the spot, with most waves in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range and a healthy slice in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range. The average height stays around 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m), but the quality improves substantially because the longer period allows the S/SSW swell to wrap and organize on the east-facing shoreline.
Wind conditions are more favourable, with a higher proportion of light SW, WSW, W and WNW breezes, and fewer strong N/NNE events. Water temperature has climbed to 27.4°C, air temperature averages 25.4°C, and rainfall remains low at 0.13mm/day. March delivers the first reliable combination of warm weather, long-period swell, and manageable winds.
