March: The Transition Begins
As the wet season starts to ease, March brings a noticeable shift. The average swell is still 1.6m (5.5ft), but the period lengthens to a very respectable 13.0s - signaling more powerful groundswell. SSW swells dominate at 58.8%, with SW adding nearly 31%, meaning over 97% of waves arrive from the optimal sector. The big improvement is the wind: ideal conditions jump to 43%, as the SE trade winds begin to blow more regularly (ESE 11.4%, SE 7.0%), although W and WNW winds are still present (20.9% and 10.0% respectively). The air warms to 25.6°C, rain decreases to 6.12mm/day, and the water remains a warm 29.2°C. This is a month where quality starts to outweigh quantity, and the cleaner banks make Canggu very fun.
