March: Autumn's First Offshore Windows
March is when autumn starts to flex its muscles. The average swell height sits at 5-6ft (1.7m), the period lengthens to 9.1s, and the E/ESE swell machine is still churning out 53% of the energy. With the NE-ENE-E-ESE total near 60%, direction is really not the issue - the wind is improving but still not perfect. Ideal offshore wind jumps to 31%, as more SW, WSW and W regimes sneak in behind passing fronts. Air temperatures remain warm at 24.1°C and water temperatures are still 25.4°C, though rainfall eases slightly to 5.19mm/day. Look for stronger morning offshores and slightly weaker sea breezes than January and February; those are the days Broken Head turns into a fun, rippable 4-6ft peak.
