March: Swinging Toward the Sweet Spot
March marks a transition as the swell direction shifts more favorably. The average swell height holds at 3ft (0.9m) and the average wave period climbs to 13.3s. The distribution is far more balanced between WSW (36.6 percent), W (28.0 percent), and SW (24.4 percent), with WNW energy down to 9.4 percent. That is a big improvement for the southwest-facing break. The challenge is wind - ideal conditions drop to 55 percent, and the wind rose shows increasing W (15.1 percent) and WNW (17.1 percent) flow, which can put more cross-shore or side-offshore energy on the surface. However, most wind speeds remain in the 0-10kph range, keeping the ocean workable. With low precipitation of just 0.20mm/day, air temperatures around 22.8°C, and water at 24.6°C, March offers excellent long-period surf whenever the morning offshore breeze does its thing.
