Conditions at La Boya in March
March: The Trade Wind Shoulder
March keeps the average swell at 3.5ft (1.1m) but the period slips to 6.1s, a reminder that these are mostly windswell waves. The ESE/E sectors continue to dominate (72% of all observations), with ENE adding another 10.8%, so La Boya stays open and surfable. The wind is ideal only 10% of the time, and the moderate NE/ENE trades remain the default. When a weak cold front stalls over the island chain, the afternoon seabreeze often dies overnight and leaves clean lineups to the dawn crew. Water temp is 26.4°C (80°F), air 26.1°C, and rainfall falls to the year's lowest at 0.75 mm/day.
