Conditions at Baked Beans in March
March: Autumn Begins To Breathe
March is the hinge month from the summer lull toward higher winter energy. Average swell holds at 2.0m (6.6ft) but period edges up to 11.4s, signalling more organised groundswell. SSW remains the dominant source at 27.9%, with S at 20.2% and SSE at 11.4% adding consistent south energy; SW increases to 8.3% and the share of 1.5-2.5m waves is healthy across the south quadrant. Ideal offshore wind still occurs 28% of the time, with WSW at 17.9% being the most frequent favourable direction. The main detractor is the summer remnant of E/ENE winds at around 29%, blowing onshore and creating texture. Air temperatures cool slightly to 21.4°C, water holds at 19.7°C, and precipitation is moderate at 1.59 mm/day. March offers a nice balance: enough size and power for a proper session without the winter crowds.
