Conditions at Ammoudia in March
March: Spring Pulses from the West
March is a transition month at Ammoudia. The average swell height eases to 2ft (0.6m) and average period drops to 5.5s, so the overall power fades. Swell direction is still excellent: WNW (18.1%), SW (14.8%), WSW (14.2%) and W (7.9%) account for 55% of the wave energy, all aimed at the beach. Size is the problem; most waves fall into the 0-1.6ft (0-0.5m) and 1.6-3.3ft (0.5-1m) classes. Ideal wind falls to 28%, and onshore W and WNW winds become more common, creating bumpy afternoon surfaces. Air temperatures rise to 12.0°C, the water is 14.9°C, and rain eases to 2.54 mm/day. Chasing March surf requires patience and a sharp eye on the pressure charts, but a late-season cold front can still deliver fun spring conditions.
