Conditions at Boilers in March
March: Spring Power
March continues to deliver. The average wave still measures 7ft (2.2m), and the average period remains a solid 12.4s. Direction-wise, it is a north-northwest story: NNW 35.0%, NW 27.3%, WNW 9.4%. The amount of genuine S/SW/WSW swell is negligible, but the stronger west component in the WNW/NW pulses helps Boilers break with more shape than the dead NNW windswell of summer.
Ideal wind drops to 35% as the Azores High starts to build, but N/NNE breezes still combine for 30.6%. Expect cleaner waves in the morning before the afternoon sea breeze kicks up. With air temps around 17.5°C, water temps 17.0°C and modest rain at 0.80mm/day, March is a solid bet for quality winter swell before the spring transition.
