Conditions at Cabo do Mundo in March
March: Early Season Transition
March is the beginning of the slow transition toward spring, but Cabo do Mundo still sees serious swell. The average wave height is around 7ft (2.3m) with a period of 12.2s, meaning the storm track is still active enough to produce long-period WNW and NW groundswell. The swell distribution is even between NW (23.2%), WNW (20.9%) and NNW (10.3%), with W (7.9%) also contributing solid energy. The ideal wind percentage drops to 39%, as the high pressure that brought offshore easterlies in winter starts to weaken and the wind rose tilts more toward NNW and NW. These cross-onshore days make the surf lumpy, but the clean windows between fronts still offer hollow, powerful waves. Air temperatures begin to climb to an average of 12.4°C, while the water remains cool at 13.7°C. March is a month of opportunity: chase the offshore E days and you will find excellent, powerful waves.
