Conditions at Rhossili Bay in March
March: Transitional Size, Cleaner Winds
March is a transition month, but the ocean has not given up on winter yet. Average swell height drops to 1.2m (3.9ft) and the period holds at a respectable 10.0s, meaning the Atlantic storm track is still close enough to deliver long-period groundswell. WSW directs 41.6% of the swell energy into the bay, though a larger share sits in the 0.5-1.5m (1.6-4.9ft) window compared to January. The bright spot is the wind: ideal offshore conditions peak at 11%, and the N through ENE quadrant makes a strong showing across the wind rose. Air temperatures creep up to 7.4°C and the water stays cold at 8.2°C, but lighter winds and clean W/SW groundswell make March one of the best value months of the year for everyday surfers.
