Conditions at Sennen Cove in March
March: Early Spring, Still Firing
March is a transition month, but Sennen still sees robust swell. Average heights ease only slightly to 7ft (2.1m) with an 11.2s period, and the percentage of WNW swell jumps to 11.3%, matching the beach's exposure well. W is still the big player at 22.8%, WSW adds 14.8%, and NW arrives 3.8% of the time. These swells are a mix of leftover winter groundswell and early spring low-pressure activity. Ideal offshore wind jumps to 10% and the mean wave period remains comfortable for organised surf. As high pressure begins to nudge in, some days bring lighter winds and clearer skies, making March an excellent month for experienced surfers after some winter size. Water is still cold at 9.2°C, air near 9.0°C, with less rain (2.42 mm/day) than midwinter. Aim for a dropping NW groundswell and a S/SSW flow.
