Conditions at Kvassheim in March
March: Waning Winter, Rising Consistency
March is the last month of true winter consistency before a noticeable step down in size. Average swell height eases to 6ft (1.8m), period 8.7s, and the wind stays similar to February with 20% ideal offshore flow. The wave rose is still excellent, with the S/SSW/SW/WSW window delivering around 21% of all swell and a large amount of WNW/NW background energy at roughly 25% combined. Water temperature is now at or near the annual minimum of 4.8°C, while air temperatures begin to soften: 3.1°C average with a max of 10.6°C and precipitation of 4.19 mm/day. This is still a month for thick suits, but the improving daylight and still-active North Atlantic make March one of the more reliable months for solid, punchy surf on the Norwegian southwest coast.
