Conditions at Lagido in March

March: Late-Winter Consistency With Spring Light

March is still a prime month. Average swell remains solid at 8.2ft (2.5m), the average period stays strong at 12.4s, and the direction distribution shows NW leading the way at 21.2 percent, with WNW and NNW close behind. That adds up to reliable, rippable winter surf with extra daylight to enjoy it.

The catch is wind: only 21 percent of March brings ideal offshore direction, and NNW winds dominate at 23.3 percent. Still, early spring is transition time; many S/SW offshore days are triggered by lows tracking across the Atlantic. Water temps hold at 14.4C, air temps are a touch warmer at 13.5C, and average rainfall drops to 1.92 mm/day. When the wind flips offshore, Lagido can offer some of the best and least crowded waves of the whole winter.
