March: Southern Hemis Swell Pushes Up the Power
March marks the transition toward bigger Southern Hemisphere groundswell. The average wave height rises to 1.3m (4.3ft) and the period lengthens slightly to 13.7s. The direction spectrum is heavily loaded in the sweet spot: SSW 26.4%, SW 49.5%, and WSW 20.1% - a remarkable 96% of all swell energy coming from the favorable half of the compass. The distribution also skews fatter, with a healthy chunk of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) waves from the SSW/SW.
The catch is wind. Only 39% of the time is ideal, as the afternoon SW/WSW seabreeze strengthens (WSW winds total 17.6%, SW 14.2%). You will need to surf early, especially before the onshore V-breeze kicks up. Air temps are a pleasant 25.8°C, rain is scarce (0.17 mm/day), and the water stays warm at 27.3°C. Get on it in the morning and you can score punchy, hollow walls along Troncones' exposed banks.
