March: The Statistical Sweet Spot
March is the statistical peak for surf quality at Oscar Point. The average swell reaches 5-6ft (1.6m) and the period stretches to 13.5s-the longest of the early season. SSW swell makes up 83.1% of the total, and a concentrated 52.1% of all waves fall in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) and 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) classes. Meanwhile, the offshore N-NNE-NE-ENE wind sector peaks at 6%, the highest of the year. That is still a low number, but in the context of Oscar Point's chronic onshore flow, it represents the best chance of combining powerful SSW groundswell with at least some clean, offshore-groomed faces. With water at 19.2°C and air at 21.2°C, March is the month to watch the forecast closely and pounce on the rare N/NE wind day.
