Conditions at Llorente in March
March: The Monsoon Begins to Lose Its Grip
March is a transition month, but only a subtle one. Average wave heights ease to 1.5m (5ft) and period holds at 9.3s. The swell remains almost exclusively from the east quadrant - ENE delivers 79.4% of the energy, with 48.6% in the clean 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range. The improving news is wind strength: while ENE (36.4%) and NE (30.2%) are still the most common directions, they're lighter than in January and February, and the percentage of ideal offshore wind ticks up to just 2%. Precipitation drops to 7.66 mm/day and the air warms to 26.9°C (80°F) while water temp climbs to 27.5°C (82°F). Surf is still mostly onshore, but the occasional light-wind morning offers a glimpse of Llorente's potential.
