The windiest month of the year at Virginia Beach is also the month that finally cracks 60°F — that tension defines golf here in March. The traveling visitor, used to tee times in warmer climates, will find the shoulder-season conditions a workable trade-off — a 60°F average high is playable, but the 14°F daily swing means a 46°F morning start requires real layers, and March's 18.1 mph peak wind makes it the windiest month of the year here. Bring a game that can handle gusts.
The local regular, by contrast, sees March as the first real opening after February's 53°F highs. Seven degrees of warming matters when you've been waiting since November for comfortable conditions. Thirteen precipitation days is the same count as February, so rain isn't improving yet — but the extra daylight and milder afternoons reward the player who can pick their window carefully.
Book afternoon tee times in March rather than early morning — the 14°F daily swing between the 46°F low and 60°F high means an afternoon round plays in a fundamentally different climate than a dawn tee time. With 13 precipitation days spread across 31 days, up to 18 days are rain-free on average, though 18.1 mph peak winds mean even clear days can play harder than the temperature suggests. See how conditions rate hour by hour on our playability scale.
March's 60°F high is a meaningful 7°F jump from February's 53°F, though the precipitation count stays flat at 13 days and peak wind actually ticks up slightly from 17.6 mph to 18.1 mph, making March windier than the month it replaces. April improves on nearly every front — another 6°F of warming to 66°F, one fewer rainy day, and a small drop in peak wind to 17.7 mph — so golfers with schedule flexibility will find April the cleaner option.

With a 60°F average high, March is on the cooler edge of comfortable — technically within the site's 60–80°F ideal range, but only just. The bigger challenge is the 46°F average low and 18.1 mph peak winds, which can make morning rounds feel significantly colder than the daytime high suggests. Afternoon tee times improve conditions noticeably.
March is statistically the windiest month of the year at Virginia Beach, with peak winds averaging 18.1 mph — slightly higher than both February (17.6 mph) and April (17.7 mph). Coastal and oceanfront courses will feel the full effect, so plan for at least one extra club on longer approach shots and expect the wind to influence ball flight more than any other factor during your round.
