Conditions at Playa Langosta in March
March: The SSW Surge
March sees the swell spectrum shift decisively toward the South Pacific. SSW now supplies 39% of the energy and SW another 24.5%, with periods reaching 13.2s - a clear sign of deep-water storms spinning below the equator. Heights hold at a friendly 1.3m (4.3ft) on average, wrapped in the 1-1.5m range, but there are more 1.5-2m (4.9-6.6ft) pulses than in January. The wind story remains classic dry season: ENE at 45.4% and NE at 22.9% keep the offshore flow intact, though slightly softer than the height of winter. Very little rain (0.10mm/day), temps of 29.1°C, and water at 28.4°C make for hot, sunny, trade-swept days. Surf early, surf often - the dry season is peaking.
