March: Long-Period Shoulder Energy
March is the last full month of prime winter conditions. Average swell height dips only slightly to 2.2m (7.2ft), and the 12.0s period means the swell is still powerful and organized. The swell mix is dominated by WSW and W, with a healthy SW component - ideal for Chesterman. The wind pattern becomes more fickle, as NW and WNW flow begins to challenge E and ESE offshore flow; ideal wind drops to 23%. Still, when an offshore breeze lines up, the waves are firing. Air temps are a touch milder at 6.0°C, water temp is 8.4°C, and rainfall stays high at 6.92mm/day. It is a reliable, chunky month for committed surfers.
