March: The Window Begins to Shrink as Southwesterly Wind Creeps Back
March sees average surf height nudge up to 4ft (1.3m) while period lengthens slightly to 13.7 seconds. The swell direction remains ideal - 96 percent from S/SSW/SW/WSW - and there is more size in the water, with SW contributing 9.4 percent in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range and SSW adding 5.1 percent. This is a taste of the stronger southern hemisphere swell to come.
However, the wind quality starts to fade. Ideal conditions drop to 39 percent, while onshore S/SW wind grows to nearly half of all observations. NE flow shrinks to around 11 percent, so mornings are still the only reliable time for clean conditions. The dry season is winding down with just 0.17mm/day of rain, air temperature near 25.8°C, and water still warm at 27.3°C. Expect glassy early sessions followed by increasing afternoon texture.
