Conditions at La Roccetta in March
March: Transitional South Swell
March is the first real transition month. Average size falls slightly to 2.5ft (0.8m), the period holds at 5.1s, and ideal wind drops to 11%. The south-swell machinery is still well oiled: WSW accounts for 14.0% of waves, SW 13.7%, S 12.0% and SSE 11.4%, so La Roccetta's south-facing sand is exposed to plenty of potential wave energy. However, the wind rose becomes more volatile, with SE (8.8%) and SSE (9.1%) onshore flow frequently competing with NNE (10.3%) and NE (8.3%) offshore breezes. That means the classic spring pattern: clean morning, choppy afternoon. Water temp is 13.9°C, air averages 11.7°C, and precipitation remains substantial at 2.04mm/day. When a passing front aligns with N/NE offshore flow, there are legitimately fun, rippable waves in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range.
