Conditions at Zipolite in March
March: More Size, More Texture
March marks a real step up in wave size. The average surf height climbs to 1.4m (4-5ft), period builds to 13.3s, and SSW swell surges to 47% of the spectrum, with SW adding another 19%. This is the clean south-southwest groundswell we chase, and when the wind is right the beach sets up with proper walls. The catch is the wind: ideal offshore conditions drop to 45%, the lowest since winter, as S/SW afternoon sea breezes start to mix the surface up. Air temperatures warm to 28°C and the water has reached 28°C, so it's almost tropical, but patience becomes a virtue until the north wind cleans up the morning.
