Conditions at Broadway Beach in March
March: Spring Transition Brings Chop and Opportunity
March sits between the winter grind and the spring flatness. The average surf height remains around 2.3ft (0.7m), and the period improves slightly to 6.8s. The S/SE quadrant becomes more dominant, with SE, SSE, S, and SSW combined near 36% of the swell rose, and E/ESE also chipping in. The wind pattern is a genuine mix: ideal N/NNE/NW/NNW wind totals close to 30%, while S/SSW onshore flow grows to around 15%. That means you can get a clean, lined-up morning if a cold front just passed, or a messy southerly blow if one is approaching. Water temp rises to about 5.7°C (42°F), but air temperatures can still dip below freezing. It is a low-percentage month, but the good windows are worth chasing.
