March: Late-Winter Power with Spring Edges
March keeps the winter swell train rolling, though the first signs of spring are visible in the wind. Average swell remains a solid 2.2m (7ft) and period is still a respectable 12.3s. The direction window remains excellent: NNW leads with 39.3%, NW provides 24.8%, and WNW adds 7.4%. The problem is that the Azores High is beginning to build, and the frequency of NNW onshore wind climbs to 27.4%, with another 7.7% from the NW. Ideal offshore flow drops to 38%. Still, when a dawn ESE wind cleans up the faces, those long-period NW groundswells can produce some of the best, most powerful sessions of the season. Water temperature sits at 17.2°C, air averages 16.8°C, and rain is 1.05mm/day.
