March: Favorable SW/WSW Swell but a Fading Wind Window
March is a transition month. The average swell height is 4-5ft (1.4m) and the period is still long at 13.8s, but the direction mix shifts southward. WSW and SW each account for about 34% of the swell, W drops to 21%, and SSW builds to 10%. This is a more direct swell angle for Pascuales, and it shows in the height distribution: over 33% of the month is in the 5-7ft (1.5-2m) range, with the rest predominantly 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m).
Wind is the limiting factor. Ideal conditions fall to 21%, as the WNW and W wind sectors take over at 24% and 17%. That often puts the surface onshore or sideshore while the energy is pumping underneath. The month stays dry with 0.22 mm/day of rain, air temps of 23.6°C and water temp of 25.6°C. If you pick your moments, especially at dawn, March can still offer long, racy walls.
