Conditions at Lake Worth in March
March: Spring Momentum Begins
March marks the transition as winter's cold fronts become a little less frequent, but the swell machine is still rolling. Average heights hold at 1.2m (3.9ft) and the period lengthens to 8.2s, giving that extra power and making for more defined waves. The wave direction remains locked on NE (19.4%) and ENE (19.2%), with a healthy contribution from E (11.6%) as the Atlantic trades start to re-establish. The ideal wind percentage drops to 21% - the westerly offshore windows become more short-lived, but when they align with the NE swell, the conditions are absolutely firing. Air temps warm to 22.2°C and the water is 24.4°C, so the surf is becoming more tropical in feel. Precipitation rises slightly to 2.35 mm/day. March is often the last month where you can count on consistent, quality head-high waves with offshore wind - a final golden window before the summer slowdown.
