March: Autumn Arrivals and Longer Periods
March is the first true transition month. The average period climbs to 12.3s while the average height remains 4.3ft (1.3m), and ideal wind improves to 21%. Swell stays stubbornly in the SSW/SW envelope - 48.8% SSW, 42.5% SW - but the longer period energy begins to hold its shape better on the NW-facing banks. Wind patterns are shifting too: S still leads at 31.5%, but lighter SSE/SE flows make up a larger share, giving cleaner mornings before the seabreeze kicks in. Water temp is still warm at 26.5°C, air temp averages 29.5°C and rain is light at 0.85mm/day. This is a month of building consistency without sacrificing tropical warmth.
