Conditions at Telescopes in March
March: First Offshore Windows Appear
March is a transition month. Ideal wind jumps to 32% as the southeast trades begin to nudge into the picture, and the wind distribution starts to spread more evenly between the WNW/NW monsoon flow and the emerging SE/ESE quadrant. Swell direction remains dominated by SSW at 69%, with S at 12% and SW at 15%. The average period pushes up to 13.2 seconds, which means the long-period SSW groundswell has more ability to wrap into Telescopes and hold some shape despite the lingering onshore breeze. Wave height still averages 3ft (1.0m), but there are more 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves than in the deep monsoon months. Rain stays heavy at 8.57 mm/day and water temperature climbs to 29.7°C; sessions are all about picking the right tide and the morning offshore window.
