Conditions at Mooloolaba in March
March: Autumn Size, Onshore Eyes
March delivers the largest average swell of the year at 6ft (1.8m), with an average period of 8.8s. The direction pool is incredibly consistent, with ESE at 37.0%, E at 28.5% and SE at 13.6%. Much of this is solid 3-6ft (1-1.8m) surf, and there are more 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) plus waves than earlier in summer. But onshore winds still hold the upper hand. SE winds blow 27.2% of the time, ESE 17.9% and SSE 14.8%, while ideal offshore winds remain scarce at 10%. The march of East Coast Lows and Tasman lows adds period and power, but Mooloolaba's east-facing beach remains at the mercy of those SE trades. Water temp is 26.1°C, air temp 24.1°C, and rain is still tropical at 5.41mm/day.
