Conditions at Cauit Point in March
March: Spring Size-Down with Cleaner Windows
March signals a gradual decrease in winter swell. Average heights ease to 1.0m (3-4ft), while the period stays around 9.2s. ENE swells still account for 79% of the spectrum, and NE adds another 17%. The wind is still predominantly from the ENE/NNE/NE quadrant, with ideal offshore wind at only 10%, so wave quality remains variable. But as the Siberian High weakens, the frequency of SE and SSE winds increases slightly, and precipitation drops to 8.5 mm/day, giving more periods of sunny skies and lighter winds. At times, a clean west or northwest flow aligns with the remaining northern hemisphere groundswells - those are the sessions that make March worthwhile, especially with water temps warming to 27.8°C.
