March: Autumn Hints Arrive With Longer Intervals
March is a transition month that starts to deliver cleaner surf. Air temp drops to 24.2°C, water stays warm at 25.4°C, and rainfall averages 5.21 mm/day. The average swell holds at 1.7m (5.5ft), the period lengthens to 9.1s, and the direction mix is dominated by ESE (29.4%), E (23.5%) and SE (19.5%). Ideal wind improves to 32%, while the NE/NNE sea breeze still makes a frequent appearance. More importantly, SSW/SW/WSW/W flow begins to show up regularly, giving the east-southeast swell a clean, groomed surface. The surf is often in the 1-2m range-fun, rippable and with more down-the-line shape now that longer intervals arrive. This is the turning point of the year.
