Conditions at Off-The-Wall in March
March: Power and Size on the Wane, but Winter Still Roars
March continues to deliver sizable surf, averaging 2.5m (8.2ft) at 11.7s, but the trend is downward as the Pacific storm track begins to weaken. NNW remains the primary swell direction at 16.9%, while ENE (10.9%), NE (9.4%), and NNE (8.6%) fill the background. The ideal wind score drops to 22%; ENE blows a stiff 29.8% and E adds another 29%, creating plenty of bumpy conditions. Still, when the wind turns light E/ESE and an early spring NW groundswell fills in, Off-The-Wall can be excellent - punchy, rippable and far less crowded than midwinter. Water temps stay at 23.9°C, air warms to 22.8°C, and 2.39 mm/day of rain keeps the hills green. Catch the right ebbs in the wind and March is an underrated gem.
