March: The First Signs of the Spring Lull
March is still part of the best season, but the energy is starting to ease. The average height dips to 0.6m (around 2ft / 0.6m), the period drops to 5.5s and ideal wind shrinks to 29%. Swell is increasingly dominated by WNW at 18.1% and WSW at 14.2%, with SW at 14.8% and NW at 11.0%. The good news is that the SW/WSW combo still adds up to a solid 29% of the total, and those are the directions with actual shape at Ligia. Winds are still predominantly from E/ENE at 10.7% and 11.2%, but an increasing amount of W and NW flow starts to show up, hinting at the lighter spring pattern. Air temperatures reach 12.0°C, water is 14.8°C and precipitation drops to 2.54 mm/day. On a good day, March can still serve up clean, chest-high runners before summer flattens things out.
