March: Slightly Bigger Swell, But Wind Swings NW
March has the highest average swell height of the winter in this dataset at 1.1m (3.6ft) with a strong 13.5s period. W swell leads at 44.8%, WSW jumps to 26.7%, and WNW still accounts for 21.2%. The heavier W/WNW mix can put some real push into the bay, especially when the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) class peaks near 50% of the distribution. But the wind patterns are brutal: NNW (41.9%) and NW (20.8%) plus N (14.6%) and WNW (7.4%) mean more than four out of five observations are from the onshore half of the compass. Ideal offshore wind is down to just 1%. March is a transition month; there are standalone storm swells with periods near 14s, but you need a very precise pressure setup to get both size and clean surface. Dry weather with only 0.29mm/day of rain and warm 24.5 degrees C water makes those rare clean days feel even more precious.
