Conditions at 7 - 11 in March
March: Spring Tension
March is a transition month where the ocean still has winter power but spring is knocking. Average surf height remains a solid 4ft (1.2m), and the average period climbs to 7.6s -- the longest of the first quarter. E/ESE/SE/SSE swell sources are well represented, and ENE and E components show an increased share of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) waves, meaning there are more good-sized sets on offer.
The downside is wind consistency. Ideal offshore conditions drop to 38%, with more northeast/east winds sneaking in as high pressure drifts offshore. Still, W/WNW/NW/NNW winds remain the dominant cluster at around 43%, so plenty of clean windows exist. Air temps rise to 5.2°C, water temps hold at 5.5°C, and spring showers are becoming more frequent. If you can stomach the cold water and play the wind shifts, March often delivers some of the last great winter surf before the summer slump.
