Conditions at Gibara in March
March: Spring Swell Hangs On
March is the last strong month of the pre-summer season. Average swell height settles at 1.1m (3.6ft) with a 6.1s period, and ideal wind sits at 7% - still one of the best chances of an offshore session. E and ENE swells combine for 72% of the total wave energy, including a healthy 15.6% in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range and 11.2% in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range. The wind, however, is split almost evenly between E (29.9%) and ENE (29.1%), keeping the coast mostly onshore. When a late-season front pushes through, the wind can briefly go SW or W, producing glassy conditions over an east-facing sandbar. Air temperature is 25.4°C, water temperature is 25.6°C and rainfall stays low, so dawn patrols are still comfortable.
