Conditions at Pacific City in March
March: The Storm Track Begins to Fade
March still has plenty of size but the reliability starts to slip as the seasons change. Average swell height is 7.9ft (2.4m) with a healthy 12.3-second period, and the direction is just about perfect: W (23.1%), WNW (21.7%), and WSW (11.1%) make up the core. The surf is still firing, but ideal wind conditions drop to 25% of the time as S, SSW, and NNW winds become more common. That means more bumpy, wind-affected surfaces between the clean windows. Water temp creeps up to 10.0°C, air temp averages 6.8°C, and precipitation remains high at 5.9 mm/day. Catch a morning with E/ENE offshore flow and leftover W/WNW groundswell, and March will still serve up memorable, powerful waves.
