Conditions at Winkipop in March
March: Shoulder-Season Transition Begins
As autumn takes hold, the Southern Ocean starts waking up. The average period jumps to 11.9s, and the swell height holds at 1.3m. SSW/SW swells still dominate, accounting for 75% of the energy, with S and SSE providing the secondary windows. Ideal wind improves to 32%, as W and NW flow increases and the persistent summer seabreeze becomes a little less reliable. Air temperatures stay mild at 17.5°C, and the ocean sits at 18.8°C.
March is a transition month. The waves are more powerful, the light periods are becoming more regular, and the morning sessions can be fun, but an afternoon ESE-SSE sea breeze can still ruin the run. Start looking for the first strong frontal passages from the southwest.
