Conditions at Cabo Ledo in March
March: The Autumn Transition Begins
March marks the beginning of the autumn shift. Average swell height ticks up to 3-4ft (1.1m), periods hold at 12.3 seconds, and there is a clear improvement in the wave-height distribution: more than half of the swell now falls in the 1-1.5m range, which translates to clean, fun, rippable waves. The direction remains locked in the SSW/SW quadrant - true NW groundswell is still absent - but the overall energy is starting to build.
Offshore S/SSW/SW winds are blowing 68 percent of the time, and even WSW flows keep the northwest-facing bay reasonably groomed. With water temperatures peaking at 28.0°C and air temperatures in the high 20s, it is warm, tropical and often lined up. This is a sneaky-good month for fun waves if you can time your sessions around the brief rain squalls, as March is one of the wetter months.
