March: Spring Thaw With Winter Bite
March maintains the winter rhythm, but the pulse is just beginning to soften. Average swell height is still 1.5m (5ft) and the average period is steady at 10.0s, so the ocean still has plenty of power. The swell direction stays locked in a NE/NNE/ENE pattern: NE leads at 32.5 percent, NNE at 24.3 percent and ENE at 22.7 percent. This produces an extended stretch of consistent 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) surf, with a good portion of the distribution reaching that 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) mark.
Ideal wind increases slightly to 65 percent, with ENE (26.0 percent), E (17.0 percent) and NE (14.8 percent) providing plenty of offshore flow. Water temperature remains warm at 26.4°C, air temps average 25.8°C, and precipitation is a modest 1.56 mm/day. March is the last full month of real winter swell before the spring fade begins.
