Conditions at Ocean Reef Park in March
March: Swell Holds as Spring Trade Winds Arrive
March maintains the winter average height at 4ft (1.2m) while the average period improves to 8.2s, hinting at more groundswell energy. The top swell directions are ENE (19%) and NE (19%), supported by NNE (12%) and E (12%); a solid 10% of all waves fall in the 1.5-2.5m spectrum. The caveat is the wind. Ideal offshore conditions drop to 21%, and easterly trade winds, E, ENE and ESE, become more dominant, making surface conditions more challenging. Still, every post-frontal west wind event turns the east-facing beach into a clean, rippable wave machine. Air temps creep up to 21.9°C, water temp holds at 24.0°C, and rainfall increases to 2.65mm/day. March is that classic month where you need to pick your windows.
