Conditions at Los Quebrantos in March
March: The Last True Winter Month
March is the last true winter month, though the first signs of spring are appearing. The average swell eases to 1.5m (4.9ft) with a still-solid 11.9s period. NW remains dominant at 42.9%, with NNW close behind at 21.5%, so the direction profile is excellent. However, the energy is slightly less consistent than December through February, and ideal wind drops to 47% as the Azores High starts to nudge in. NE and ENE winds combine for 18.6%, increasingly turning the ocean onshore during the afternoon. Water temperature bottoms out at 12.9°C, air temps average 10.2°C, and precipitation is relatively low at 2.40mm/day. Score a low-pressure system passing north of Spain and you can still find clean, powerful NW groundswell with favourable S/SW winds.
