March: Equinox Energy and Spring Cold
March marks the transition from midwinter mayhem to a slightly cleaner, more surfable pattern. Average swell drops only slightly to 5.6ft (1.7m), and the 11.4s period is still in the powerful long-period range. The directional spread improves for Ervik: NNW at 15.1% and W at 14.9% are the dominant swell sources, with WNW at 9.1% and NW at 10.6% adding to a good-angle total near 38%. There is also plenty of WSW at 11.7% and SSW at 7.9% energy, but the NNW/NW fetch is more active than it was in midwinter.
Wind is slightly more cooperative, with ideal surfing conditions reaching 18%. The offshore S/SSW quadrant flows at 37%, while the bad N/NW quadrant sits at only 13%. Water temperature is at its lowest of the year, 5.4°C, air temperature averages 2.8°C, and precipitation eases to 5.41mm/day. For cold-water connoisseurs, March offers firing NW groundswell with a better chance of offshore light winds and even spring sunshine.
