March: Weakening Trade Winds, Still a Blown-Out Mess
March begins to ease the pressure slightly. Average swell drops to 1.5m (5ft) with a 9.3s period, and the ENE continues to dominate at 79.4% of the total, followed by NE at 14.6%. Height distribution is centered on 1-1.5m (3-5ft) at 48.6%, with another 22.3% in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range, so there is still solid power. The problem is, again, wind: NE 30.2%, ENE 36.4%, E 15.5%, with ideal offshore conditions at only 2%. The trade-wind chop keeps the lineup lumpy, and the swell period is only average.
Conditions are slightly drier now, with 7.66mm/day of rain, and air/water temperatures at 26.9°C and 27.7°C respectively. March is a transition in size but not yet in quality.
