Conditions at Mira in March
March: The Lion Keeps Roaring
March is the last full month of true winter power. Swell heights average 7.5ft (2.3m) and periods remain a solid 12.2s. The swell window is again dominated by the W-NW quadrant, with NW at 24.2 percent and WNW at 20.5 percent, while NNW adds another 11.1 percent. However, spring is creeping in: NNW winds jump to 21.2 percent and the ideal-surf-wind percentage drops to 37 percent. You will still score plenty of 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) days, but they now often come with more north in the wind, so you need to pick your windows. Air temperatures are on the rise, averaging 12.5C (54F), while water stays cold at 14.1C (57F). With 2.63mm/day of rain, the sandbars stay fresh, and a strong E/ENE offshore flow can link up with the last real groundswells of the season.
