March: Lighter Winds and a Hint of Cleaner Surf
March sees the average swell height ease to 4.3ft (1.3m) while the period remains respectable at 9.5s. The dominant direction shifts further toward ENE, which accounts for 56% of the swell, with NE close behind at 40%. Wave heights are concentrated in the fun-size 3-5ft (1-1.5m) band, and there are still enough 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) waves to keep things interesting. Wind speeds drop noticeably from the winter peak, and although ENE and E still dominate, the lighter velocities allow the ocean surface to heal much faster. Ideal offshore wind from the S/SW quadrant occurs 5% of the time, and rain decreases to 8.5mm/day. This is the first month where clean, rippable waves begin to outnumber total chaos, making March a strong shoulder-season pick for intermediate surfers.
