March: Autumn's First Clean Lines
The autumn transition is visible in every statistic. Average wave height remains a solid 1.7m (5-6ft), but the period lengthens to 9.2s and the ideal-wind percentage jumps to 20 percent. Swell direction shifts to a stronger southern component: SSE leads with 19 percent, followed by SE (17 percent), E (17 percent) and ESE (16 percent), with ENE falling to 11 percent. That gives Maroubra more powerful 2m-plus sets from the S/SE quadrant as Tasman Sea lows start to spin up.
