Conditions at Mekakoz in March
March: The Last Big Push of Winter
March is a transition month, but at Mekakoz it still delivers epic winter surf. Average wave heights are 6ft (1.8m) with a powerful 12.1s period, and the swell direction is even more concentrated from the northwest - NW alone contributes 40.4% of the wave energy, with WNW adding another 19.7% and NNW a further 12.7%. The North Atlantic is still throwing strong low pressure systems toward the Bay of Biscay, and those long-period swells wrap into Mekakoz with serious intent. Wind-wise, the ideal offshore directions account for about 31% of the time, with S and SSW breezes most common around slow-moving high pressure ridges. NW and WNW onshore winds are also prominent, bringing rain and choppy textures. The average air temperature ticks up to 11.3°C and the sea is still a cold 12.8°C, so winter rubber remains the go-to. March is the last month where you can consistently score big, powerful NW groundswell before the Atlantic begins its springtime slowdown.
