Conditions at Fistral Beach in March
March: Equinox Energy
March is still prime time at Fistral. The average swell eases only slightly to 1.8m (6ft), and periods remain long at 11.5s. The mix shifts a touch more toward WNW, which supplies 15.9% of the swell alongside the ever-present W at 37.1%, giving the beach plenty of west-northwest exposure. The equinox also brings bigger tidal swings, so sandbars and rip currents move around, and good surfers know to pick the tide carefully. Onshore W and NW winds are a bit more frequent than midwinter at about 32% of the time, but cooler continental air occasionally delivers east and southeast offshore flow, giving 22% ideal conditions. Air temperature averages 8.2°C, water temperature reaches the annual low at 9.0°C, and rainfall eases slightly to 2.54 mm/day. Spring is starting to soften the edge, but March can still produce powerful, hollow Fistral sessions.
