Conditions at Beliche in March
March: Transitional Power
March is still a big-wave month, but the Atlantic begins to mellow around the edges. Average swell height is 7ft (2.2m) and period is 12.3s, so long-period NW/NNW energy remains the bread and butter. NW swells account for 27.6% of the rose and WNW for 17.4%, while S/SW/WSW makes up only a small slice. Ideal N/NE offshore winds are present 25 percent of the time, but the wind field becomes increasingly dominated by NNW at 28.4 percent, which can create lumpy, cross-shore surface conditions. Water temperature holds at 15.6°C, air temperature averages 14.8°C, and precipitation remains steady at around 2.00mm/day. When a S/SW swell lines up with a light N/NE offshore, March can still produce memorable Beliche sessions.
