March: Monsoon Fatigue, Wave Heights Fade
By March, the northeast monsoon starts to lose some steam, but the onshore pattern persists. Average swell height backs down to 1.3m (4.3ft) at 9.5s, with the waverose now dominated by ENE (55.9%) and NE (40.4%). The bulk of the energy is in the fun-sized 1-1.5m (3.3-5ft) range, so the raw power of mid-winter is gone. Wind remains the limiting factor -- ideal wind occurs only 1% of the time. ENE winds pile in at 33.7%, E at 22.9%, and NE at 18.6%, all blowing directly into the beach. Air temperatures hold steady at 27.2°C, water temp rises slightly to 27.9°C, and precipitation drops to 8.26 mm/day. March is a teaser: you can see good shaped swell on the forecasts, but the surface will be mostly chopped up by afternoon onshores.
