Conditions at Karmay in March
March: Winter Swell Begins to Relax
March is transition month, but there is still plenty of life. Average wave height eases to 6.6ft (2.0m) with a 9.3s period, and the swell rose remains broad through WNW, NW and W with a meaningful SSE component. For Karmay, the W/SW pulses arrange the best lines, producing solid 4-8ft (1.2-2.4m) surf and occasional bigger days.
The wind picture is mixed: SSE and SE remain prominent, but the NNW flow is actually the single largest contributor at 16.1%, and ideal offshore conditions climb to 25%. Water temperature is 5.0°C, air temps around 4.2°C, and precipitation eases slightly, so late March can serve up surprisingly fun, rippable waves between the last winter storms.
