March: Spring Transition and Mixed Swell Lines
March is the hinge between winter and spring. The average swell height remains a healthy 1.1m (3.5-4ft) and the average period is 11.8s - still punchy and rideable. Westerly groundswell continues to dominate, with W (47%), WSW (30%), and SW (12%) making up most of the spectrum. The increased SW component begins to open the door for more favorable waves at the point. However, wind is ideal only 51% of the time, a clear step down from midwinter. North winds become less regular while WSW and W winds increase to 12% and 16%, respectively. Air temperatures warm slightly to 14.4°C, water dips to 13.6°C, and rainfall decreases to 2.28mm/day. Expect plenty of 1-1.5m (3-5ft) waves, with the occasional larger W set. March is a good month, but it requires a bit more patience to find clean conditions.
