Conditions at Entella in March
March: Transitional Spring Juice
March is the first genuine transition month. Average swell height slips to 0.7m (2-3ft), mean period holds at 5.7s, and the directional spread becomes even more southwesterly: SW accounts for 32.7 percent, WSW 11.8 percent and SSW 8 percent. The S through WSW window totals nearly 58 percent of all waves, keeping the beach well exposed to late-winter Mediterranean storms. The catch is consistency, with the ideal wind window dropping to 17 percent and early spring high pressure beginning to interrupt the storm train.
Offshore winds remain common, with NNE at 17.8 percent and NE at 9.5 percent, but SE and ESE flows are building at 9.4 percent and 8.2 percent respectively. These are cross/onshore winds for the SSW-facing coast and can shut down wave quality quickly. Water temperature stays at 13.7°C, air warms to 7.4°C, and precipitation remains elevated at 2.00mm/day, keeping the swell sources alive but increasingly unreliable.
