Conditions at Cacimba do Padre in March
March: Peak Clean Conditions
March is arguably the most reliable month of the year at Cacimba do Padre. Ideal wind frequency jumps to 47 percent, the highest outside April, while the average period stays up at 11.6s. North-quadrant swell still accounts for about 16 percent of the spectrum, mainly NNE at 10 percent and N/NNW near 6 percent, and it mixes with solid ENE/E/ESE energy to keep the sandbar/bowl well fed. The typical wave is a clean 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) with some 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) bombs. The dominance of E/ESE winds diminishes through the month, and the balance between power and grooming is excellent. When a southerly breeze locks in, the lineup turns organized, hollow and rippable. Expect air temperatures near 28°C, water 28.5°C, and increasing tropical showers (5.33 mm/day) as autumn approaches.
