Conditions at Punta Burros in March
March: The Transition Begins
March is the first taste of the seasonal transition. The average wave height rises just slightly to 1.1m (3.6ft) with the same long 13.5-second period. The swell direction starts to rotate: W remains dominant at 44.8%, but WSW jumps to 26.7% and WNW drops to 21.2%, with a touch of SW at 6.5%. This means more south in the swell, which actually enhances the quality on the south-facing beach as the waves become more direct. Wind remains favorable 87% of the time, with NNW leading at 41.9% and NW contributing 20.8%. The water cools a touch to 24.4°C and rainfall is very low at 0.33 mm/day. Expect punchy, long-period surf with cleaner shape as the leading edge of the year's first SSW swell sneaks in.
