Conditions at Spessard Holland in March
March: Spring Swing
March brings a slight uptick in average height to 2-3ft (0.9m) and period to 8.6s, as the North Atlantic still has fight left. ENE and E swells dominate, combining for more than 44% of the directional distribution, with NE adding another 15% and NNE 8%. This is a month where the beach can see solid 3-5ft (1-1.5m) ENE groundswell mixed with smaller E windswell. The longer period 10s+ groundswell windows become more selective, but they are worth chasing.
Wind becomes the limiting factor-ideal offshore conditions drop to 21% of the time. The Bermuda High starts to flex, pulling winds around to the E/SE quadrant, and sea breezes turn afternoons bumpy. Early mornings, with lingering W/SW offshore winds following a cold front, are the premium opportunity. Air temps are warming to a mild 68°F (20.3°C), water temps are on the rise at 72°F (22.3°C), and spring rain is beginning to ramp up.
