Conditions at Gilleleje Havn in March
March: The Spring Transition
March is caught between winter storm tracks and springtime high pressure. Average swell height holds at about 1.5-2ft (0.5m), but average period falls to 3.8s, so wave quality trends toward choppy, low-energy windswell. The directional spread widens: WSW, W, WNW and SW are the main wave directions, while there is an interesting increase in E/ESE/SE wind, a classic spring pattern from continental high pressure. The favourable N-NNE-NE-NNW window remains a minor contributor, and even adding nearby NW angles brings the total to only about 20 per cent. Ideal surf wind is 0 per cent, and the strongest wind probabilities are split between WSW and E/ESE/SE, which produces plenty of cross-shore and messy conditions. Air temperature creeps up to 2.5°C, precipitation drops to 1.5mm/day, and the water is still a chilly 3.0°C. March is a month of false promises: brighter days, but still a lot of flat, bumpy sea.
