March: Transitional Punch
March is a transition month where the surf still has solid winter punch but wind quality starts to fade. Average heights hold at around 3.5ft (1.1m) with an 11.8s period, and the swell distribution tilts more toward WSW at 30% and SW at 12%, while west swell still leads at 47%. Ideal wind drops to 41%, with west and WSW winds becoming more frequent and chopping up the surface. Water temperature cools slightly to 13.6°C, air temps rise to 14.4°C, and precipitation eases to 2.28 mm/day. Early-morning offshore windows are the key to scoring clean waves before the sea breeze builds.
