March: Long Period Sneaks In
March marks the first real handoff toward the south swell season. The SSW share jumps to 37.0%, SW to 17.8% and WSW to 6.8%, giving Playa Serena more energy from the right direction while the northern component fades. Average wave period climbs to 11.9s, a meaningful upgrade from winter, although average height remains a modest 0.6m (2ft). NNW winds stay dominant at 61.9% and ideal windows return to 49%. The weather is still dry, with 0.52mm/day of rain, air temperatures around 26.8°C and water at 26.5°C. The combination of longer-period SSW swell and offshore north winds makes March a sneakily good month for clean, small surf. It will not be big, but it is noticeably better organized than January or February.
