Conditions at Anne Avenue in March
March: Autumn Edges In
March marks the first noticeable shift toward autumn. Swell height holds at 8ft (2.5m) with a slightly punchier 11.4s period, but the wind distribution begins to change. The onshore E/ESE complex drops to 43.7%, while the W/WSW offshore flow builds to 37.4%. The ideal-wind window improves to 25%. Swell direction from the exposed E/ESE/SE pocket is still a solid 11.2%, so there is now a better combination of direct swell energy and offshore wind. As water temperatures cool to 19.0°C and air averages 20.7°C, the ocean starts to feel more alive. March is a reliable shoulder month: not firing on all cylinders, but the odds of scoring a clean session are improving.
