Conditions at Laredo in March
March: Late Winter Power With a Touch of Spring
March is the last full month of the premium season. Average surf still measures a robust 1.8m (6ft) with a 12.2s period, and the NW direction dominates more than ever, with strong WNW and NNW contributions as well. The number of 1-1.5m (3-5ft) days outweighs the biggest winter swells, but there is still a legitimate chance of overhead, powerful surf. The wind turns less reliable, with ideal S-SSW offshore flow at 42%; on the northern side of the compass, N/NE winds can quickly chop up an otherwise appealing swell. Air temperatures climb to 11.3C and water temperatures to 12.9C. March is that sweet spot between winter size and spring sunlight, with good waves often followed by a fresh NW groundswell and a backing southerly wind.
