Conditions at Vizag in March
March: The Pre-Monsoon Wind Switch
March starts to turn against Vizag. Swell energy increases slightly to an average 3ft (0.9m), and the swell direction becomes heavily south-based: S (58.8%), SSE (24.5%) and SSW (11.8%). The average period remains respectable at 9.4s, so there is some power behind the waves. The problem is wind. Favourable wind drops to only 11%, with SW (36.2%) and SSW (26.7%) blowing onshore for most of the month. This creates bumpy, sectiony conditions and makes every session a battle. If you do score a dawn window with a light NW breeze, the S/SSW swell can still be fun on the better banks. Air temperatures climb to 28.1°C, water temperature is 27.9°C and precipitation is still low at 0.38 mm/day, but don't expect any real consistency.
