Conditions at Wilderness in March
March: Equal Size, More Clean Air
March keeps the winter momentum going with average wave height around 5ft (1.5m) and a 10.0s period. The NE/ENE axis is still dominant, but the north component is more consistent: NNE contributes 24%, N adds 6.5%, and NNW adds 4.7%. Combined with long-period energy, those N/NNW pulses can wrap nicely into the west-north-west-facing sandbars and produce some of the better-shaped waves of the season.
The wind regime turns friendlier, with ideal conditions up to 44%. ENE (31%) and E (22%) dominate, while onshore W/NW flow is minimal. This means more clean, head-high, lined-up surf during offshore mornings. Air temperature is 25.3°C, water temp 26.4°C, and rain remains similar. If the NAO stalls the storm track in a helpful position, March can be a sneaky-good month.
