March: Spring Thaw with Winter Teeth
March is a transition month, but the surf hasn't gotten the memo yet. Average height sits at 5ft (1.6m) with a solid 8.7-second period, and the swell distribution still favors the SSW (16.0%), S (11.6%), SW (10.1%) and SSE (8.3%) - an ideal mix for Lawrencetown. The difference is the wind: ideal offshore conditions drop to 31%, and the southerly wind component begins to reappear (SSW 7.5%, SW 8.2%). Still, the northwesterlies (WNW 10.2%, NW 9.9%, NNW 13.2%) fire frequently behind departing lows. Water temp remains near freezing at 0.9°C (33.6°F), air temps hover around 0°C (32°F), and winter wetsuits are still non-negotiable. When the sun breaks and the wind goes offshore, March delivers some of the rawest, most powerful waves on the calendar.
