Conditions at Coxos in March
March: The Last Big Gasp of Winter
March is a transition month, but it still swings heavy. Average swell height holds at about 7.5ft (2.3m), and the period is a solid 12.3 seconds, so the ocean has real structure. NW dominates with 24.5 percent of all swell, followed by WNW at 18.3 percent and NNW at 14.8 percent. The W window adds another 6.4 percent, giving the west-southwest facing beach a helpful component for more direct surf. Ideal offshore wind occurs 20 percent of the time, but the wind rose still shows strong NNW flow at 20.9 percent, which can add cross-shore texture. Water temperature warms slightly to 14.7°C, air averages 13.4°C, and rainfall drops to 1.77 mm/day. If you time a clean low-pressure pulse with an east wind in March, it can be as good as anything in the official winter months.
