What March feels like
March is windy enough that the kite shops on the boardwalk do real business, and things start reopening for spring weekends. The ocean is still far too cold to consider, and the ponies down on Assateague look particularly unimpressed with the season.
Expect about 7 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. about 12 nights dip below freezing.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 46° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
