March: The Autumn Transition Begins

As autumn takes hold, March brings a noticeable step up in reliability at Blaketown Wedge. The average swell holds at 1.7m (5.5-6ft) while the period lengthens to 11.9s, and the WSW continues to dominate the swell rose at just over 50 percent of all observations. Wave heights cluster around the fun-to-solid 1-2m (3.5-6.5ft) range, with an increasing percentage of overhead-plus sets. More importantly, the wind distribution tilts in your favour: E/ESE winds now account for over a quarter of the data, and the ideal offshore wind percentage jumps to 46 percent. There are still plenty of W/NW onshore days, but the cleaner windows are longer and more frequent. Early morning, with fresh ESE flow and the first light of autumn, is the time to go.
