March: The Best Trade-Wind Window of the Year
March brings the highest wind quality of the year at Taapuna, with ideal surfing winds at 39 percent. The E and ESE winds alone account for nearly half of all observations, keeping the west-facing break clean and offshore. Average swell remains solid at 1.8m (6ft), and the period extends to 13.0s, so there is no shortage of power. However, the swell direction begins to turn southward: SE, SSE, S and SSW dominate, while the preferred SW and WSW sectors total only around 17 percent. This means March can be brilliant when the swell carries enough west in it, but inconsistent when the angle tilts too far south. Water temperatures peak at 28.8°C and rain drops to 4.3mm/day as the wet season starts to fade.
