Conditions at Abrolhos Islands in March
March: Autumn Hints Arrive
March signals the first subtle shift toward autumn. Average swell height remains solid at 2.2m (7ft), but the average period ticks up to 12.4s, meaning the Southern Ocean is starting to send more organized groundswell. SSW swell continues to lead the pack at 42.6%, with S at 15.5% and SW at 10.8%. Most waves sit in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) window, and there is still very little XL energy above 2.5m (8ft).
Wind conditions remain mostly onshore, with SSE at 31.0% and S at 27.0%, but the ideal offshore wind percentage creeps up to 5%. It is not enough to make March consistent, but it is the first month where the ocean starts to feel more alive. Water temperature peaks near 23.8°C, air temperature averages 23.1°C, and rainfall is still low at 0.52 mm/day.
