Conditions at Parlementia in March
March: Lingering Power with a Hint of Spring
March is the tail end of the prime surf season, and Parlementia still feels the lingering muscle of winter. Average swell height is a healthy 1.6m (5.3ft), with the average period holding at a solid 12.2s. The wave rose remains dominated by WNW (40.3%) and NW (40.6%), meaning the swell direction is almost perfectly aligned with the beach. High-quality waves are frequent: 9.9% of the time you'll see 1.5-2m (5-6ft) and 6.1% in the 2-2.5m (6-8ft) range. The main difference from January and February is that ideal offshore wind days drop to 36%, and the wind rose shows a more balanced mix of everything from NE to NW. The W wind component stays strong at 11.2%, and the NNW winds - which for a NW-exposed spot can be cross-onshore - increase to 10.0%. You'll need to watch the pressure maps for a window of E/SE winds to get clean conditions. Air temperatures begin to moderate, averaging 10.7°C, while the ocean remains cold at 12.7°C. It's still wetsuit weather, but the lighter days and longer daylight make March a rewarding month for those willing to stay patient.
