March: Autumn Hints and Cleaner Periods
March marks the first serious shift toward autumn. The average period rises to 11.4s while the average swell stays around 6-7ft (2.0m), and SSW/SW energy becomes more consolidated: SSW is 27.9%, S is 20.2%, SSE is 11.4% and SW adds 8.3%. On the wind side, WSW strengthens to 17.9%, SW is 10.2% and W is 7.6%, giving more consistent offshore windows for the northeast-facing beach. The still-active E/ENE flow is less dominant than in summer, though it remains the main negative factor at 29.3% combined. With water cooling to 19.7°C and air still warm, March is one of the most pleasant months to find a clean, rippable wave with real push.
