March: The Transition Begins
March is the first sign of change at Kleinmond. The wind still blows from ESE and SE (36% combined), but the ideal wind score bumps to 20% as the first cold fronts begin to brush the Cape. Swell size inches up to 2.2m (7-8ft) and period to 11.6s, with SW (28%) and SSW (24%) dominating the spectrum. The increase in NW, WNW and NNW flow - together around 15% - starts offering more legitimately offshore windows. When those align with a clean SSW groundswell, Kleinmond turns on. Water temps drop to 17.2°C, and autumn heaves into view. It is still wild and mixed, but the sharp-eyed surfer can already taste winter.
