Conditions at Odeceixe in March
March: Late Winter, Still Firing
March retains plenty of Atlantic muscle. The average swell height comes down a touch to 2.2m (7.2ft), but the period remains stout at 12.4s, keeping the long-period power alive. NW swell dominates at 29.7%, with WNW adding 19.5% and NNW another 9.2% - a north-western bias that still hits Odeceixe directly.
Ideal wind consistency falls to 33% as the spring transition starts to build the northerly wind machine. NNW flow is the most frequent wind at 21.6%, with NW at 8.7%, so onshore and cross-shore texture is more common. Still, a late-season low can easily deliver an 8ft (2.4m) day. Average air temperature is 13.5°C, water temperature 15.3°C, and precipitation is 1.67mm/day.
