Conditions at Baya in March
March: The Transition Begins
March is the shift month. Average swell height remains at 4-5ft (1.4m), but the period lengthens to 13.1s and the ideal wind percentage improves to 35 percent. Swell direction becomes more concentrated: SSW is a massive 62 percent of the spectrum, S adds 18 percent, and SW contributes 16 percent. The wind field begins to change as ESE, SE, and SSE trades appear more frequently, yet NW and W winds still blow often enough to keep things inconsistent. Rainfall drops to 8.05 mm/day, air temp is 26.1°C, and water temp is 29.2°C. The final weeks of March often deliver the first genuinely clean sessions of the year.
