Conditions at Little Malibu in March
March: The Last Gasp of Winter Consistency
March continues the winter program with 5ft (1.5m) average swell and a 10-second period - the same numbers that have been lighting up the beach for three months. The direction mix shifts a bit toward NNE, with NE leading at 32.5%, NNE at 24.3%, and ENE at 22.7%. Once again, the SSW-W corridor is nearly silent, so the east-northeast trade swell remains the bread and butter. Offshore winds blow 64% of the time, with ENE at 26.0% and E at 17.0%, keeping Little Malibu clean and organized. Water holds at 26.4°C, and the air is a balmy 25.8°C. As spring approaches, there's still enough power in these mid-period waves to make the most of the sandbars, but be ready for more frequent flat spells in the hours between swell pulses.
