Conditions at Cloud 9 in March

March: Slightly Cleaner, Still Solid

March sees the first real easing of the peak monsoon. Average size drops to 4ft (1.3m) while the period holds at 9.5s, but the swell direction is still overwhelmingly good: ENE accounts for 56% of observations and NE another 40%, delivering consistent 3-5ft (1-1.5m) sets with a scattering of 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) bombs from the NE. Wind intensity eases compared to January and February; ENE winds remain common at 30%, but E/ESE flow jumps to over 32%, creating many more cross-shore and semi-offshore days. Ideal offshore wind is still rare at 4%, but the mornings are cleaner and the surface is far less choppy. With air temperatures averaging 27.2°C, water at 27.9°C, and rainfall dropping to 8.3mm/day, March is a more user-friendly month than the heart of winter.
