March: Reliable Size, Better Windows
March continues the best season but with the first hints of spring. The average swell height is 8ft (2.4m) on an 11.3s period, still a powerful long-period groundswell. Swell directions are even more locked into the south/southwest: WSW accounts for 16.4%, SW for 14.6%, and SSW for 9.3%. That is a lot of consistent energy, though the larger share of SW/SSW means it can lack the crystalline structure of a straight W/WNW swell. Still, the reef handles it well.
March delivers the best ideal-wind frequency of the winter at 29%. The offshore quadrant remains well represented, and with the spring transition, those winds are often lighter and more intermittent. Water temperature is near the seasonal low at 5.4°C (41°F), and precipitation drops to 5.56 mm/day-a sign that the stormiest weather is loosening its grip. This is a great month for surfers who want size without the intensity of deep winter.
