Conditions at Parking Lots in March
March: Spring Transition Holds the Winter Door Open
March is a transitional month that has not fully surrendered its winter punch. Average swell height stays at 5ft (1.5m), the average period remains a solid 10.0s, and the favorable north quadrant still supplies around 35 percent of the waves - one of the better ratios of the year. NE and ENE remain the dominant source, but there is enough N/NNE/NNW energy in the mix to keep the spot alive when the storm track dips south.
Clean-wind frequency improves to 38 percent as the trades slacken slightly. Winds from ENE/E/NE still lead the pack, but the south/southwest offshore windows become more common, especially in the early mornings. With the ocean at 26.4°C (79.5°F) and air temperatures around 25.8°C (78.4°F), you can still get winter-like waves without the winter-like attitude.
