March: Late-Winter Power Before Spring Slump
March is still prime time, with the average swell at 5ft (1.5m) and a 9.4s period. The spread of directions begins to broaden: ENE comes in at 37.0%, but NE jumps to 27.1% and NNE to 15.6%, with N at 2.9% and NNW at 2.1%. Combined, those preferred northern directions make up nearly 48% of the total wave energy, giving Destroyers some of its most consistent head-high surf of the year. Swell heights frequently fall in the 3-6.5ft (1-2m) range, and long-period pulses can still light up the break.
The wind is a little more mixed, with E at 27.0%, ESE at 24.1%, ENE at 15.2% and SE at 11.7%. The ideal-wind percentage is 28%, so offshore SW/SSW bursts remain a minority but are more common when fronts pass to the north. Air temperature averages 24.7°C, water is 26.1°C, and precipitation is 1.31 mm/day - a good month to chase morning glass at Destroyers.
