Conditions at Stoney Beach in March
March: Autumn's First Pulse
March begins the slow seasonal shift. Average height bumps to 1.2m, period lengthens to 9.8s, and ideal wind stays at 24%. Swell from ENE is still the leader at 22%, with E at 20%, but the southern quadrant starts to make some noise-S/SSE/SE and SSW together account for around 34% of the spectrum. Wind is still biased toward NE/NNE, but SSW/SW flow is increasingly common after fronts. Sea temp is 16.6°C, air 15.0°C, rain 1.56mm/day. The first long-period southerly groundswell pulses of autumn arrive, and when a fading NE/ENE swell meets a fresh SW wind, Stoney starts to show its potential.
