Conditions at Taronui Bay in March

March: Autumn Transition Begins

The first tectonic shifts are felt in March. Swell remains 1.3m (4ft) at 9.7s, but ENE (29.8%) and E (23.5%) still rule the wave rose. The wind ideal percentage is 29, so the mornings can absolutely glass off with offshore southerlies. However, the moderate trade wind still blows from the E and ESE (10.6% and 10.9%) and creates a lumpy cross-breeze. The N/NNW/NW share remains marginal at 15.9%, so true north-origin groundswell is harder to come by. Early autumn can still deliver warm air (19.6°C) and 21.0°C water, but you need to pick your windows before the winter westerlies take over.
