Conditions at Playa Linda in March
March: Bigger but Blowing
March marks the beginning of the spring transition. Swell size increases to 4ft (1.2m) and periods stretch to 13.7 seconds, adding some genuine punch. Directionally, the spectrum is more mixed than February: SW remains dominant at 48.7%, with SSW at 41.7% and WSW at 8.8%. The westerly component is still enough to create solid surf, especially during the middle of the month when late-season North Pacific lows send longer-period W/SW energy toward the coast. However, wind quality takes a hit - only 25% of the time is ideal for surfing. WSW (17.6%) and SW (14.2%) winds are frequent and often blow in the 10-20kph range, making the surface lumpy and crumbly. With near-zero rain (0.13mm/day), air temps at 26.3°C and water at 27.5°C, March is warm but requires careful planning; morning sessions with an offshore breeze are your key to success.
