Conditions at Conchalio in March

March: The Surge Gets Stronger

March continues the late dry season, and the swell model starts to respond to strengthening Southern Hemisphere activity. The average period jumps to 13.4s and average height edges up to 1.1m (3.5ft). SSW swell becomes extremely dominant at 67%, and the core of that energy sits right in the fun 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range -- 47% of all observations. South and SW directions add another 29% of the mix, meaning the SSW-facing beach is working almost constantly. Wind quality remains satisfactory but begins to loosen: ideal wind is 53%, with NNE and N/NW flow less dominant than in peak winter. Onshore S/SSW/SW winds total around 22%, still mostly light. Rain is scarce at 0.21mm per day, while air temperature is 27.7°C and water temperature 28.6°C. Expect punchier, more powerful surf with occasional glassy windows.
