Conditions at Ibiraquera in March
March: Autumn's First Surge
March is the bridge month. The average height remains 4ft (1.2m), but the average period lengthens to 8.6s and the swell direction tilts further south. ESE accounts for 28.6% of all swell, E for 22.6%, SE for 21% and SSE for 12.9%, giving the beach a more organised, powerful feel than the pure summer months. The 3-5ft (1-1.5m) class dominates, but 5-6ft (1.5-2m) waves now make a regular appearance from the ESE/SE quadrant. The wind is still largely NNE/NE (35.6% combined), yet ideal W/NW offshore flow rises to 42% of the time as the first strong cold fronts sweep up from Argentina. Water temperature edges down to 24.9°C and rainfall drops to 4.65 mm/day, making March a comfortable month with improving quality.
