Conditions at Urbiztondo Beach in March
March: The Transition Begins
March shows a clear seasonal downshift. Average wave height falls to 1.5-2ft (0.5m), average period drops to 6.4s, and ideal wind falls to 12 percent. The swell direction remains NNW-dominated at 84.4 percent, but almost all of the energy is below 3ft (1m), with just 5.2 percent in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range. Air temp climbs to 23.0°C, water is 26.9°C, and rain is still modest at 1.59mm/day. As the monsoon transitions, the winter swell machine switches off and the surf becomes smaller, softer and increasingly inconsistent; a groveler's month rather than a go-to period.
