March: Spring Bumps and Shifting Winds
March marks the beginning of the transition to smaller, less dependable surf. Average swell height drops to 4-5ft (1.4m), the period eases to 6.5s, and the wave rose still shows a strong NW/NNW component, with NW and NNW combining for 26.5% of the total. There is plenty of 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) surf, but the bigger 6ft+ (2m+) sets become less frequent. The wind field starts to become more variable: WSW is the leading direction at 10.1%, but E and ESE are also well represented, giving slightly more opportunities for clean, offshore conditions. Still, ideal wind arrives only 12% of the time. On a good day, a fading low pressure system and a building Scandinavian high can produce crisp ESE winds over a punchy WNW/NW swell, creating fun, rippable 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves on the island's sandbars. Water temperature is a chilly 5.1°C and air temps average 4.7°C, so don't put away the winter rubber just yet.
