Conditions at Puri in March
March: Building Swell, Losing the Clean Window
March sees the swell clock in at 0.9m (3ft) on average, and the period eases to 9.6s. The direction becomes increasingly dominated by S swell at 63.9 percent, with SSW at 27.3 percent and a growing band of 1-1.5m (3-5ft) waves. There is even a touch of 1.5-2m (5-7ft) SSW energy. Unfortunately, the wind regime collapses. SSW winds blow 46.9 percent of the time, SW 22.6 percent, and ideal offshore wind only makes up 5 percent. This is the first month of the year when size is possible but quality is scarce. The occasional NW/NNW land breeze can still carve out a few clean, punchy waves, but overall expect lumpy conditions. Water temperature warms to 27.5°C and air to 28.5°C.
