March: Spring Transition with East Swell
March is the last truly winter-like month, but spring is poking through. The average swell height remains at 4-5ft (1.4m) and period improves to 7.5s. Swell arrives from S (12.0%), ENE (11.5%), E (10.9%) and SSE (9.5%), with ESE/SE also well represented - a classic mix of nor'easter windswell and early-season groundswell. The offshore wind machine is still active: WNW (11.8%), NW (10.0%) and NNW (10.0%) combine for over 30% of the wind distribution. That said, SSW winds jump to 10.0%, and ideal surf wind drops to 24%, so timing becomes more important. Air averages 5.2°C, water 5.5°C, and March is also one of the wetter months with 3.72 mm/day of precipitation.
