Conditions at La Setenta in March
March: Last Call Before the Spring Lull
March is still surfable, but the North Atlantic engine is beginning to throttle back. Swell averages 2ft (0.6m) with a period of 5.7s, and ideal wind time slips to 18%. The N-NW-NNW window still produces about 28% of all swell, led by the NNW at 15%, although the biggest waves become less frequent than in January. ENE swell jumps to more than 27% of the spectrum, signalling that the trade wind regime is taking control. Most ENE and E swell is under 1.5ft (0.5m) and does not wrap well onto this northwest-facing beach. When a late-season cold front pushes through, expect clean, punchy 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves; just pick your window around the 18% offshore S/SSW/SW flow. Water temperatures hold at 25.8°C, air temperatures average 24.4°C, and rain is low at 0.87 mm/day.
