Conditions at Pease Bay in March
March: Spring Boost in NNE
March is a transition month and one of the most consistent shoulder-high periods at Pease Bay. Average swell height eases to 4-4.5ft (1.3m) but the period remains useful at 6.3s. The big story is the jump in NNE swell, which accounts for 11.3% of all observations, the largest single swell sector of late winter. Combined, the N/NE/ENE quadrants total about 28% of the wave spectrum, with several windows of 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) surf. Ideal offshore S/SW wind occurs 15% of the time, helped by a decrease in the strongest WSW gales compared with January and February.
Water temperature is still cold at 6.1°C, but air temperatures are beginning to moderate with an average of 5.3°C. As thermal low pressure starts to develop over the continent, easterly and northeasterly winds can set up for days at a time. Expect clean, punchy, fun-size beachbreak conditions more often than in the depths of winter.
