March: Winter Momentum and a Hint of Spring
March remains a prime month. The average surf height eases to around 6ft (1.8m) but the period stays at 11.5s, so there is still plenty of power in the water. The swell direction distribution is one of the best of the year: W swell accounts for 37%, WSW 14% and WNW 16%, a perfect spread across Polzeath's most responsive windows. Ideal offshore winds blow 22% of the time, similar to midwinter, but the wind speeds are a little lighter and ridges of high pressure become more frequent. Air temperatures start to creep up to 8.2°C, water is still 9.0°C, and precipitation drops to 2.54mm/day. You can find cleaner, more user-friendly conditions than January while the North Atlantic still pumps out consistent swell.
