March: Shrinking Swell and a Shift in the Wind
March marks the beginning of the end of the northeast monsoon. Average wave height drops to around 2.6ft (0.8m), and the average period shortens to 6.9s, putting most surf in the fun-size to grovel range. The north-northeast direction still dominates, with N (49%), NNE (34%) and NNW (13%) carrying the bulk of the energy, but the size is thinner and more local. The wind field starts to change: south and south-southeast breezes become more frequent, and the truly offshore ENE/E/ESE/SE flow is scarce at under 7%. Only 26% of the time does the wind align ideally, so afternoon sea breezes can chop up the surface. Air temperatures warm to 24.5°C and rainfall begins to rise slightly to 1.23 mm/day, while the water warms to 27.0°C. March is a shoulder month; expect some rideable mornings but no all-day consistency.
