March: The Season Fires Up on the Intermonsoon Transition

March is one of the cleanest months of the year at Adonis. The northeast monsoon breaks down, winds become more variable, and the percentage of ideal offshore flow jumps to 56%. Average period lengthens to 11.3s, marking a clear transition toward true groundswell, and the swell direction shifts firmly into the SSE and S quadrant, which is the sweet spot for this southeast-facing reef. Most of the wave energy sits between 0.5 and 1.5m, so 2-5ft walls are on the menu, with long-period push making up for the relatively modest size. Rain stays low at 1.92 mm/day, air temperature is 28.0°C, and the water is a warm 29.1°C. This is the classic month for clean, long-period lines at Adonis under light N/NW winds.
