March: Spring Swell With a Side of Onshore Flow
March stays solid in the surf department. Average swell height rises to 2.8ft (0.9m), the period holds at 8.6s, and the directional distribution still leans hard into the good stuff: E 24 percent, ENE 21 percent, NE 16 percent and ESE 12 percent. The percentage of clean offshore wind drops to 13 percent, though, a sign that spring is slowly taking over.
The wind tables tell a familiar spring story: ESE, E and SE winds dominate at 9.2, 9.0 and 9.6 percent respectively, and most of those blow at 10-30kph, right in the choppy, lumpy range for an east-facing break. When a late-season cold front delivers WNW/W winds, the surf can still be very good, with punchy 3-5ft (1-1.5m) sets from ENE and NE. Air temps warm to 20.4°C, water is 21.9°C, and precipitation increases slightly to 2.63 mm/day.
