Conditions at Herradurra in March
March: Autumn's First Push
March is the most wind-consistent month of the year, with ideal offshore conditions 96 percent of the time. S winds dominate at 54.6 percent, with SSE at 18.3 percent and SSW at 19.8 percent. The absence of N/NW flow means the bay remains glassy and well groomed for long periods between swells.
Swell height ticks up slightly to 1.3m (4ft) and the period extends to 13.5s, hinting at the approaching autumn energy. SSW swell now makes up 79.5 percent of the wave spectrum, while SW accounts for 20.4 percent. The 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range still dominates, but 1.5-2m (5-7ft) waves jump to 21.2 percent and the first hints of 2-2.5m (6-8ft) swell appear. Water temperature is still warm at 20.4°C, with air temperatures averaging 20.0°C and barely any rainfall at 0.13mm/day.
