Conditions at Lagos in March

March: Spring Transition

March is a transition month; the Atlantic storm track is still alive but beginning to wobble north. Average surf eases only slightly to 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) while the period stays solid at 12.1s, so there are still plenty of clean, long-period waves. The wave rose remains dominated by WNW and NW energy, with a healthy WSW/SSW secondary window for Lagos. Offshore NNW winds are the most common wind direction, and together with continued rain (2.00mm/day) and cool water at 15.6°C, it still feels like winter in the water. The best days are excellent; the worst days just remind you that spring is not quite here.
