Conditions at State's Avenue in March
March: Spring Swell, Slightly Less Wind
March is the first real transition month. Average swell heights remain solid at 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) and the average period nudges up to 7.5s. The swell rose broadens: ENE and E contributions jump to 11.5% and 10.9%, respectively, while the favourable ESE/SE/SSE/S window still accounts for 36% of observations. More E/ESE energy means longer-period possibilities, but also more textured surfaces.
Ideal-wind frequency slips to 24% as the spring sun generates more seabreeze. WNW/NW/NNW are still the leading offshore directions, but S and SSW winds are on the rise. Air temperatures average 5.2°C, water temperature sits at 5.5°C, and March is the wettest month with 3.72mm/day of precipitation. The best days come when a low passes offshore and drags a cold front through, briefly flipping the wind NW.
