Conditions at Pacifico in March
March: Slight Downsize, Still Offshore-Challenged
March begins to ease into a transition zone, but it remains far from good. Average swell height drops slightly to 1.3m-still in the 'fun, good, solid' range if clean-and the period holds at 9.5s. Yet the wave rose shows the same monotonous pattern: ENE (55.9%) and NE (40.4%) dominate the swell window. Wind stats also remain unfavorable, with ENE winds at 33.7%, E at 22.9%, NE at 18.6%, and ESE at 11.6%. Ideal wind is a dismal 1% of the time. There's a touch less energy than January and February, but the monsoon-driven cross-shore/onshore winds still wreck any potential. Air temperatures are stable at 27.2°C, precipitation lessens to 8.26 mm/day, and the water warms slightly to 27.9°C. March is a classic early-spring tease: a few more clean windows slip through, but the overwhelming majority of it remains blown out.
