Conditions at Cabedelo de Viana in March
March: The Transitional Heavyweight
March is still a winter month in the water, but the first hints of spring settle in. Average swell height remains a solid 2.4m (7.9ft) with a 12.0s period, and the dominant WNW/NW directions continue to drive the swell rose. There is also more NNW in the mix and a better distribution of offshore winds - 53 percent ideal - making it a good month for semi-clean, powerful surf. The wave-height spectrum is packed in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range, so Cabedelo is often firing at proper size while the air temperature climbs to a more comfortable 11.9°C. Water temperature is still coldish at 13.7°C, and rainfall is moderate. March is that transition month where you can still get a winter beast of a swell, but the odds of a sunny surf day start to increase noticeably.
