Conditions at Furadouro in March
March: Transitional Power With a Northwesterly Bite
March remains very surfable, but the seasonal dial is starting to turn. Average swell height eases to 5ft (1.6m) and period to 12.0s. The direction mix is excellent: WNW 42.2%, NW 26.6%, W 16.9%, giving the waves a strong northwesterly character. The 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) and 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) classes still occupy a big share of the rose, so this is no month for small-wave boards. Ideal wind drops to 36% as spring northerlies begin to strengthen; the wind rose shows NNW jumping to 20.2%, so wave selection becomes key. Water temperature sits at 13.9°C, air temps average 12.4°C with highs occasionally reaching the mid-20s, and precipitation averages 2.97 mm/day. March rewards patience, with punchy lefts and rights on the better days.
