Conditions at Atlantida Pier in March
March: The Subtle Shift
As autumn begins to creep in, the first subtle shifts appear in the atmospheric circulation. The NE wind is still the dominant force at 23.7%, but there is a noticeable increase in the SW and WSW components, which now account for 5.0% and 4.9% respectively. While the ideal wind statistic still reads a brutally honest 0%, these westerly components offer a glimmer of hope for the first time since November. The swell height remains at 0.0m, so it is still a flat, blown-out mess. However, the average air temperature drops slightly to 23.6°C, and the water remains warm at 23.8°C. The decrease in precipitation (3.69 mm/day) hints at the changing seasons, but the surf is still a long way from being rideable.
