Conditions at Jelly's Point in March
March: Turning the Corner
March is a transition month. Average swell drops to 3ft (1.0m) and period holds at 9.2s, while the wind becomes less strongly monsoonal. ENE swell still dominates at 79%, with NE contributing 17%, and there is a near even split between 2-3ft (0.5-1m) and 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) waves. The ideal wind percentage climbs to 27% as lighter E/SE and occasional S/SW flow replaces the raw NNE/NE trades. This is the first month where morning glass can actually coincide with rideable swell. It won't be pumping all day, but the windows of quality are more accessible, making it a decent shoulder-season month for logging or chasing a clean 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) bank. Water temperature is 27.8°C, with air temps around 24-30°C and rainfall down to 8.5mm/day.
