March: Spring Swell vs. Spring Winds
March is the true transition month in the Caribbean. The average swell height is still 2.6ft (0.8m) and the period is 6.1s, but now SE swell accounts for 29.2% of the total, nearly tying the ESE's 30.1%. The good news: 9.9% of all swell energy falls in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) band, with a few 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) pulses from the SE - the largest consistent swell window in the seasonal cycle. The bad news: the wind slowly swings round to the SE too. SE winds make up 21% of the rose, and when combined with ESE (19.8%) and E (15.3%), onshore flow dominates. Ideal offshore wind drops to 2% as NNW flow fades. Still, if you pick your day, March offers some of the most fun, rippable surf of the year, particularly when a tropical wave or late-season cold front sends clean E-SE swell into the island under lighter morning winds.
