Conditions at White Plains Beach in March
March: Trade Winds Ramp Up
March marks the beginning of the trade wind surge. The ENE wind jumps to 43.6% of the time, often blowing 20-40kph, which creates cross-shore chop. The swell mix shifts decisively toward ENE (20.1%) and E (10.0%), while NW (9.8%) and NNW (8.4%) still linger from winter storms. Average wave height eases to 5.5ft (1.7m), and the period drops to 11.8s - still solid but a notch less powerful. Ideal wind frequency falls to 21%, so mornings are key. South-angled swell remains scarce, but the increasing E/ESE energy starts to make White Plains more rideable, especially on lower tides. Water temp remains steady at 24.2°C, air 22.8°C, and precipitation peaks a bit at 2.39 mm/day.
