Conditions at Fitzroy Beach in March
March: Autumn Muscle Arrives
March is when the ocean starts to remember it is a swell magnet. The average height rises to 1.7m (5-6ft), the period stretches to 12.1s, and the offshore wind count remains at a solid 25 percent. A subtle shift in the storm track brings more S/SW energy into the mix, yet WSW still dominates at around 45 percent, with W and WNW making up another 15 percent. This is a pumping, powerful setup for Fitzroy. The 1-1.5m (3-5ft) and 1.5-2m (5-6ft) classes are the backbone, while 2-2.5m (6-8ft) sets show up on the better swells. Water temp is still warm at 19°C (66°F), and the ESE/SE morning offshores are reliable. If you have flexibility, this is the last month where you can comfortably surf a good wave in a summer wetsuit.
