Conditions at Moneglia in March
March: Transitional Swells and Stronger Sun
March keeps the winter formula alive but the atmosphere begins to transition. Average swell is 0.7m (2.3ft), period is 5.7s and ideal offshore winds still arrive 21% of the time. SW remains the dominant swell direction at 32.7%, while the SSE quadrant increases to around 11% - a sign that spring sea breezes and more southerly storm tracks are mixing into the wave climate. Moneglia's SSW exposure still favors the S/SSW/SW component, so the SSE energy is less clean and often crossed up. Water temperature is 13.7°C, while average air temperatures rise to 12.0°C. Precipitation holds at 1.95 mm/day. The waves are often small, but March can deliver a final 3-5ft day as the Atlantic storm track still reaches into the Mediterranean before the summer ridge takes over.
