Conditions at Neva Bay in March
March: Big Swell, Peak Clean-Wind Potential
March is arguably Neva Bay's best overall month. The average swell height is still 8.2ft (2.5m) with an 11.3s period, and the direction is dominated by WSW at 16.4%, SW at 14.6% and SSW at 9.3%, with W adding 5.2%. That is a textbook distribution for this west-facing beach. The ideal wind percentage reaches 29%, the best of the year, meaning more morning glass than the deep winter months. The wind rose also shows a solid complement of E/ESE/SE offshore directions, which is exactly what keeps the waves clean. Water temp bottoms out near 5.4°C (42°F) while the air warms slightly to 2.5°C (37°F), making late winter sessions a little more bearable. March is the sweet spot for both size and shape.
