March: Autumn Edges Into the Equation
March is the transition month when the first autumn cold fronts begin to nudge the summer pattern. Average swell height remains around 7.5ft (2.3m), but the period stretches to 11.7s, and the SW (25.7%), SSW (21.0%), S (11.2%) and WSW (4.3%) distribution carries plenty of Southern Ocean energy. The wind statistics show the south-easterly still dominant - SSE 31.2%, SE 18.5%, S 14.1%, SSW 5.8% - yet the offshore quadrant gains ground: NNW rises to 7.4%, NW to 4.3%, NNE 0.5% and N 0.8%, pushing the ideal rating to 16%. Water temp remains a comfortable 17.2°C, air temp averages 20.1°C, and precipitation ticks up to 0.81 mm/day as the first fronts brush the coast. Expect more variable conditions and the occasional excellent session when a front passes and the wind swings offshore.
