Conditions at Blue Bowls in March
March: The Monsoon Flip Brings Cleaner Air
March is where the year starts turning on. The northeast monsoon breaks down and offshore W/SW/WNW/NW winds become common, pushing ideal conditions up to 51%. The average swell period jumps to 11.3s, a sign of more organised groundswell, while average height remains a manageable 1.1m (3-4ft). Swell direction shifts decisively to the south, with SSE (32%) and S (35%) dominating and SSW adding another 14%; pure SE swell shrinks to about 9%. This is more southerly than Blue Bowls' optimal window, but the long-period energy refracts well around the reef, and the clean westerly flow lets it stand up into hollow, rippable waves. Occasional 1.5-2m (5-6ft) pulses appear, especially on SSW/SW angles. Water temp rises to 29.7°C and rainfall is moderate at 2.41 mm/day.
