Conditions at Tiger Stripes in March
March: Long Period Transition
March is the last full month of the northeast monsoon, and Tiger Stripes still sees ideal wind 63% of the time. The average height holds at 3.6ft (1.1m), but the period peaks at 10.6s - the longest of the entire December-March window - meaning more powerful groundswell for a relatively small size. The directional spectrum becomes very focused: SSE and S swells alone represent nearly 70% of the total, with SE adding another 13%. As the monsoon begins to weaken, winds become more variable and afternoon westerlies can creep in, so mornings are the time to strike. Water temp reaches 29.7°C and rainfall stays low at 2.4mm/day, making March a reliable, warm, groomed-surf month before the monsoon flip.
