Conditions at La Rinconada in March
March: The Peak Season Window
March marks the first real sweet spot of the year at La Rinconada. Average height holds at a meaty 6.5ft (2.0m), the period pushes up to 13.1s - the year's joint longest - and ideal wind jumps to 55%. The SW/WSW swells still dominate the rose at roughly 81% combined, but the stronger period creates more push and more order for the northwest-facing setup. Wave heights in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) range are the rule, with enough 8ft+ (2.5m+) sets to keep the pulse alive. Winds from S/SSW/SW/WSW are persistent and mostly light-to-moderate, which is exactly what this exposed beach needs. Autumn's approach is still barely visible in the weather: air 14.9°C, water 13.2°C and only 0.58mm/day of rain. For the balance of quality versus consistency, March is hard to beat.
