Conditions at Lincoln City in March
March: Transitional Swells, Fewer Clean Windows
March begins to shift the energy balance. The average swell height eases to 7.9ft (2.4m) and periods remain long at 12.3s, but the low-pressure systems are becoming less organized. The swell distribution is still strongly W (23%) and WNW (22%), with WSW adding another 11%, so there is no shortage of raw Pacific energy. However, ideal wind days drop to 25%, as S and SSW winds (13% each) become more common ahead of spring storms, and the first hints of the summer north wind show up in the NNW total (13%). Target the windows between fronts when offshore east winds clear out the sea surface; expect hollow, lined-up beach peaks in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.4m) range. Water temp climbs slowly to 10.1°C, air averages 6.8°C, and precipitation eases to 5.9mm/day.
