March: Late-Winter Power Meets Spring Wind Swings
March is still very much a winter surf month, but spring is knocking. Average swell drops only slightly to 2.4m (7.9ft) and period remains a strong 12.3s. The optimal swell source is still dominant: W 23.1%, WNW 21.7%, WSW 11.1% and NW 2.5%. The big issue is wind quality: ideal offshore wind falls to 25%, while NNW flow jumps to 12.7% and S/SSW winds become a regular occurrence as daytime heating starts to stir the atmosphere. Water temp warms a touch to 10.1°C, air temp to 6.8°C, and precipitation eases to 5.94 mm/day. Expect powerful, lined-up waves with more wind variability - watch for strong high pressure passages for the cleanest March sessions.
