March: Transition and Mix
As the northern storm track begins migrating back toward the Gulf of Alaska, March still delivers a solid 1.8m (5.9ft) average with an 11.7s period. The optimal NNW swell is still present at 19.7%, and with N at 8.6% and NW at 3.8%, the classic winter window accounts for about one-third of the energy. However, ENE, NE, and NNE swells combine for roughly 56% of the wave heights, so the lineup becomes more of a mix between fading winter groundswell and strengthening trade-wind swell. Wave quality is still good, but you may have to hunt for the more lined-up NNW sets.
Trades are a bigger factor now: E and ESE winds account for 63.3% of observations, while ideal offshore winds fall to 22%. Water temp holds at 23.9°C, air temp at 22.1°C, and precipitation rises to 2.10 mm/day. March is the last month where a solid NW/NNW pulse can still produce firing Hookipa without the summer lull having set in.
