Conditions at Laje da Jagua in March
March: Autumn Transition Gets Rolling
March is where Laje da Jagua starts to shake off the summer pattern. Average swell height bumps to 1.6m (5ft) and the average period lengthens to 9.1s, a sign that the South Atlantic storm tracks are becoming more active. The swell rose shows a clear shift: ESE jumps to 21.0%, SE to 18.4%, SSE to 16.1%, and the S direction nearly doubles to 9.8%. More of the energy is now arriving in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range, and the longer period makes the waves punchier on the ledge. Winds are still dominated by NE trades (NE 23.0%, NNE 12.3%, ENE 12.2%), but there is a noticeable increase in SSW and SW winds as cold fronts begin to push through. Ideal wind sits at 28%. With water temps still warm at 23.9°C and air temps around 24.4°C, March is a comfortable month to log good sessions, especially when a front delivers offshore N/NW winds and a clean SSE/S swell.
