Conditions at Xivares in March
March: Spring Transition
March is the tipping point. The storm track is still alive, but the intensity wanes slightly: average swell drops to 4.9ft (1.5m) and period to 11.9s - still powerful, but losing some of winter's bite. Direction-wise, NW is again the star at 42.9%, with NNW at 21.5% and WNW at 14.2%, so the groundswell window remains wide open. The big difference is wind: ideal offshore conditions drop to just 41% of the time, as the continental land mass warms and pressure gradients relax. ENE (13.1%) and E (9.5%) winds grow more common, but they're not the onshore killers - the real check comes when N/NNW winds gust up. Air temp climbs to 10.7°C and water is 12.9°C, with precipitation falling to 2.38 mm/day. Expect fun, solid winter leftovers, often with cleaner conditions than April as the ocean hasn't fully given up.
