Conditions at Byberg in March

March: Last Big Swell Before the Lull

March is a transition month, but the North Atlantic is still active. Average height remains respectable at 4ft (1.2m) with an 8.0s period. The favorable swell directions are even more dominant than in January, with WNW (14.1%), NW (13.7%) and W (13.4%) leading the charge and favorable directions totaling 43.5%. The wave quality can still be excellent, especially when the long-period component of those WNW/NW swells gets into the bay.

Wind is a coin flip. Offshore E/ESE/SE/SSE flow totals roughly 36% of observations, and ideal surfing wind is at 13%, but NNW is the dominant wind direction at 16.6% and a persistent NW wind adds another 6.7%, making onshore and cross-onshore days common. Water temperature is at the yearly minimum of 4.8°C, and air averages 2.7°C, so it remains a full winter rubber session. Catch a North Atlantic low with south and east winds on its back side and March can send you home with a smile.
