Conditions at Coke's in March
March: A Clean High-Pressure Lull Before the Change
March marks a noticeable shift. The northeast trades begin to relax and the ideal wind percentage jumps to 62% - the highest of any month in the data. N/NNE and NW/NNW breezes combine for roughly a third of all wind observations, and the east/northeast winds that remain are generally light. This is some of the cleanest surface texture Coke's will see all year, and it can make even small swell feel better than the numbers suggest.
However, swell size bottoms out. The average drops to 0.7m, with period easing up slightly to 7.7s as the swell mix rotates from ENE toward ESE/SE. For the first time since the autumn, SE and SSE energy begin to appear, together making up over 32% of the swell spectrum. That is a tempting appetizer, but most of that energy sits in the 0.5-1m range, so waves are small, fun-sized and often groveling. Air temperature is 27.9°C, water temperature climbs to 29.7°C, and rainfall is modest at 1.43mm per day. If you score a late-March southern pulse, conditions can be glassy and rippable; otherwise, the lack of size keeps March in low-to-fair territory.
