March: Last Call For Winter Groundswell
March is the final month of Pools' prime season, and it does not disappoint. Average height is 5ft (1.5m), period is a clean 10 seconds, and the NNE direction fires at 24% of the overall distribution. The better winter swells still wrap into the beach, especially when the swell tilts from the north half of the compass. Ideal wind percentages creep up to 47%, giving surfers a few more clean windows than January or February. It is still warm and tropical with an air temp of 25.8°C and water at 26.4°C, which makes March a favorite for long sessions without heavy neoprene.
