Conditions at Rincon Point in March
March: Late Winter Pulses
March is still very surfable, with average heights around 4ft (1.2m) and a solid 11.3s period. The swell direction is overwhelmingly western - W and WNW combine for about 84.5%, with WSW taking another 10.6%. However, the true optimal SSE/S/SSW/SW window drops to just 3.5%, so Rincon relies on wrap and sandbar shape to make the most of the west energy. Offshore winds remain workable at 38% ideal frequency, but the wind rose shows onshore SW/WSW winds starting to increase, especially by the afternoon.
Air temperatures warm slightly to an average of 11.1°C while water temperature drops to its lowest of the year at 13.0°C. Precipitation eases to 2.06 mm/day, meaning more bluebird days between winter frontal systems. March is a great month for a wetsuit dawn patrol before the seabreeze messes things up.
