Conditions at North Wall Ballina in March
March: Autumn Begins, But Cross-Shore Winds Still Bite
March maintains the summer's solid average of 5-6ft (1.7m), with the swell distribution shifting further toward the southeast: ESE 29%, E 24%, SE 20% and SSE 12% combine for nearly 85% of all wave energy. The average period rises to 9.1s, adding a touch more push to the banks. Wind is ideal 27% of the time, still low, and the SE/SSE onshore flow remains the default setting - SE and SSE winds total 28%, with the whole E-ESE-SE-SSE quadrant near 43%. Air temps cool to 24.2°C, water stays warm at 25.4°C, and rain is slightly lower at 5.21 mm/day. As autumn progresses, look for the first proper westerly cold fronts to deliver clean, lined-up conditions on the otherwise stormy ESE swell.
