Conditions at Mavericks in March
March: Late-Season Power Hanging On
March still has one foot in winter. Average swell remains around 6ft (1.9m) and the period is a respectable 12.4s, so the heavy energy hasn't disappeared. WNW (48%) and W (28%) dominate the swell rose, with WSW at 7%, making for plenty of powerful lines. But spring is knocking: ideal wind drops to 23% and the NW wind machine becomes relentless, with NW and WNW winds combining for 46% of observations. Water temp 11.9°C, air 11.7°C, precipitation down to 2.45 mm/day. Catch the early morning northerly and you can still find heavy, ridden surf; wait too long and the ocean turns into a washing machine.
