March: Building Autumn Swell
March brings a subtle step up in energy. Average swell height edges up to 0.8m, the period extends to 13.5 seconds, and the SSW direction tightens its grip at 93.5% of the wave spectrum. The percentage of 1-1.5m (3-5ft) waves doubles compared to February, so there are more chest-high sets mixing in with the everyday 2-3ft lines. Offshore NE/NNE winds remain strong, though ideal wind drops to 69%, a sign that the dry season is beginning to loosen. Rainfall is still low at 0.63mm/day and air temperatures are on the rise, while water temperature is 27.8°C. The result is a powerful, long-period swell that is still clean enough to turn Punta Roca into a high-performance canvas.
