March: First Real SSW Swells Arrive
March marks the first appreciable shift toward quality at Punta Miramar. The average height holds at 1.1m (3.5ft) but the period builds to 13.5s, and importantly SSW swell jumps to 39.0% of the wave rose, with SW adding 6.4%. Combined optimal-direction energy now passes 45%, a big jump from the winter months. There are still leftovers from the S/SSE sector, which together make up 37.3%, but the mix is improving. Trade winds continue to dominate, with ENE at 51.4% and E at 19.5%, though WSW (5.0%), SW (2.5%) and W (3.1%) can spoil sessions on occasion, which is why ideal wind frequency sits at 44%. The weather is dry with 0.18mm/day of rain, water at 27.3°C and air at 28.6°C. This is the month to start watching the forecast for a proper SSW pulse.
