Conditions at Sealion Cove in March
March: Spring Transition, Still Solid
March marks the first step out of the deep winter, but Sealion Cove still sees meaningful swell: 2.5m (8.2ft) average at 11.3s. The direction pattern remains dominated by WSW (16.4%) and SW (14.6%), with SSW at 9.3%; W and WNW account for just 6.8%, meaning the cove often has to work with an angled swell. Still, enough long-period west energy leaks through to make it a proper winter-surf month.
Offshore wind availability sits at 41%, with E/ESE/SE/SSE all well represented. Air temps are still cold (-0.1°C average) and water temp is 5.3°C, though precipitation backs down to 4.77mm/day. As spring pushes on, the frequency of onshore NW winds begins to creep up, so grab the cleaner spells when the offshore flow lines up.
