March: Spring Tease, Winter Roar
March is still a winter month in the water. Average swell remains a solid 5.2ft (1.6m), periods stay at 8.7s, and the E/ESE/SE window opens up further to 24.5% including ENE - the first real sign of spring. This is when nor'easters in the western Atlantic can deliver clean, east-southeast groundswell directly into the point, with 1-1.5m and 1.5-2m waves dominating the spectrum and occasional bigger sets. The SSW (16%) and S (11.6%) swells still hold a large share, but it is easier to find a right-direction day than in December.
Wind begins to lose its winter grip: the offshore WSW-W-WNW-NW quadrant drops to 36%, while onshore E/ESE/SE winds increase to 14%. Average air temperature is still at -0.1°C, water is a frigid 0.7°C, and precipitation is 3.08mm/day. These are the classic cold, sunny, offshore days that make Canadian surfers love this time of year - bump-free morning winds and thick, lined-up swell rolling through the point.
