March: Autumn Size with Trade-Wind Sickness
March still carries solid late-summer swell, with an average height of 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) and the best average period of the year at 8.5s. The E and ESE directions supply 35% and 32% of the total swell energy respectively, and there is a meaningful chunk of 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) surf in the mix. The problem remains the wind: SE (27.2%), ESE (17.9%) and SSE (14.8%) keep the surface lumpy and bumpy, with only 14% clean windows. Water temperature is still a warm 26.0°C, so if you can find a dawn patrol during a W/NW change, the reward is a punchy, rippable autumn wave. Air temperatures average 23.8°C and rainfall is still high at 4.69mm/day.
