Conditions at Jake's Point in March
March: Autumn Transition Sparks Longer-Period Hopes
March is the first month you can feel the Southern Ocean waking up. The average period jumps to 10.3s and size is still solid at 5-6ft (1.7m). Swell direction remains dominated by SSW (56%) and S (21%), but SW energy increases to 14% and WSW starts to appear. There is enough west in the mix to produce more lined-up sets at Jake's Point.
The winds begin to cooperate more too: ideal offshore flow from ENE through SE climbs to 30%, with E (7.7%), ESE (7.4%), SE (10.5%) and ENE (4.8%) all contributing. S/SSE winds are still common, but lighter velocities and more morning E/SE sea breezes create cleaner windows. Water temps sit at 24.2°C and air at 26.3°C, making it a very comfortable month to start chasing longer-period groundswell.
