March: The Peak Window of the Year
March is statistically the best month for surf quality at Spot Kontiki. The average swell rises to about 5ft (1.6m), the period stretches to 13.5s, and the wind is ideal 18% of the time, the highest value of any month. The wave distribution is more powerful too, with 44% of the SSW energy in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range and 8% in the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) class. There is still a solid 16% from the preferred SW direction, so not all the groundswell is wasted on this WSW-facing beach. In terms of wind, S/SSW/SW winds still dominate the rose, but they tend to be lighter than in winter, and the 18% ideal offshore number reflects genuine windows of NE/ENE/E flow. This is the month to chase the combination of long-period groundswell, warm 19.2°C water and occasional glassy conditions. March delivers the most consistently good surf of the year.
