March: Bigger Swell and the First Bumps
March is a transition month on the Pacific side of the tropics. Average swell height reaches 1.2m (4ft) and the period extends to 13.7 seconds. Swell energy is split between SSW (42%) and SW (49%), with a clearer push into the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range; a meaningful slice sits at 5-8ft, so overhead waves are no longer a surprise. The catch is that ideal wind drops to 52% as WSW (15.8%) and SW (13.8%) wind frequencies increase, frequently at 10-20kph. Winter's NNE/NE offshore flow is still present, especially in the morning, but afternoon surface conditions become more textured. Rain is almost absent (0.13mm/day) and water is 27.5°C, so the main challenge is finding the early clean window.
