March: Spring Transition and Quality Windows
March is the last full month of winter-style surf before the spring pattern takes over. The average swell holds at 4ft (1.2m) with the longest period yet in the season's back half - 8.5s. E remains the dominant swell direction at 20.8%, with ENE (15.4%), NE (14.4%) and ESE (13.8%) all well represented. This is a great mix for Flagler: NE and ENE bring the most consistent 5-7ft (1.5-2m) and 6-8ft (2-2.5m) waves. Winds are ideal 38 percent of the time, but the spring transition starts to show: ESE and SE winds build to 7.8% and 8.6%, respectively, and the sea breeze gets stronger. Still, frontal passages can flip winds into the W/SW quadrant for clean sessions. Air temps have climbed to 20.1°C (68°F) and water is a pleasant 21.0°C (70°F) - springtime wetsuit territory. Rainfall picks up slightly to 2.76 mm/day.
