March: Bigger South Swell, More Wind to Manage
March marks the transition toward larger south groundswell. Average wave height rises to 4.9ft (1.5m) and period jumps to 12.9s, crossing into the powerful long-period category. The SSW direction surges to 43.1% of all swell, with S at 13.8% and SW at 16.2% - nearly three-quarters of the energy is coming from the south/southwest window. The bulk sits in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) ranges, meaning plenty of head-high-plus waves. The catch is wind. Ideal offshore flow falls to 47%, and WSW at 16.5% and SW at 15.4% dominate the afternoon hours. Look for clean early-morning sessions and a bumpy but still powerful afternoon. Rain stays low at 0.13mm/day, air temp averages 22.0°C, and water temp climbs to 27.4°C.
