Conditions at Andran in March
March: Winter's Last Big Breath
The storm track is still active in March, but Andran starts to feel the change. Average swell height steps down to 1.7m (5-6ft), average period eases to 12.0s, and the ideal wind frequency drops to 33%. NW is still king, making up 43% of the recorded swell, with NNW at 19% and WNW at 13%. The mix is powerful enough to produce pumping sessions, especially during the first half of the month, but the gaps between swells grow a little wider.
Wind-wise, E/ENE cross-shore flow begins to increase as the continent warms up, while S/SW offshore windows become slightly less frequent. Onshore N/NNW/NW/WNW winds remain a threat, so the surface can get lumpy on the wrong days. Air temperature climbs to 10.8°C, precipitation eases to 2.55mm/day, and the water is 12.9°C - still a wetsuit month, but the light at the end of the winter tunnel is beginning to appear.
