March: Late-Winter Grind
March is still winter, but the edge starts to dull. Average swell height dips to 8.9ft (2.7m) and period to 12.3s, still long-period and powerful. The dominant directions are WNW (16.0%) and W (14.4%), with NW (8.6%) and WSW (6.0%) playing supporting roles. The wind is the roughest part of the month: ideal flow drops to 42%, and the S wind (15.8%) ties with NNW (15.6%) for dominance. The southerly component often arrives with the dying low pressure systems and makes Brookings lumpy, but a fast-moving high pressure ridge can quickly flip the wind to N/NE and turn the same swell into quality. Water temp remains cold at 10.7°C, air temps average 9.3°C and rain still accumulates 6.41 mm/day. March is for the diehards soaking up the final winter swells before the Pacific High reasserts itself.
