Conditions at Caswell Beach in March

March: Spring-Forward Transition and Long-Period Relics

March begins the slow transition toward spring, but the ocean is still storing plenty of winter energy. The average wave height drops to 4ft (1.2m) while the average period remains at a respectable 10.0s, so the swell that does arrive tends to be clean and long lined. Directionally it is still a WSW/W show at roughly 65%, with only about 11% from the better SSE-S-SW sector, which explains why Caswell can be inconsistent even when the Atlantic looks active. Offshore winds blow 15% of the time, and with air temperatures warming to 6.8°C and water still cold at 8.2°C, it is a month of improving conditions but still serious winter rubber. Keep an eye on late-season lows: they can throw a final punch of 3-5ft groundswell.
