March: First Whiff of Autumn
March is the turning point. Average period increases to 8.8s and wave heights tick up to 1.5m (5ft), signaling the first real coastal front activity of the autumn. The swell distribution becomes more balanced across the E-ESE-SE window: ESE (22.3%), E (20.7%), SE (18.5%) and SSE (15.3%) lead the way, and there is more energy in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) and 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) classes than in the summer months. You can feel the ocean waking up.
Wind quality improves slightly, with ideal surfing conditions around 37% of the time. Air temperatures cool to 21.7°C and water temp remains warm at 23.7°C. Rain decreases a touch to 3.95mm/day.
