Conditions at Pororoca in March
March: Equinox Energy Peaks
March delivers the classic equinoctial surge. With the sun crossing the equator and the moon aligned, tidal forces generate some of the strongest spring tides of the year - exactly what this macro-tidal river mouth needs. Open-ocean swell is still a non-event at 0ft (0m) with a 0.0s period, and the wind profile stays dominated by NE (42.6%), ENE (20.8%) and NNE (23.4%) flows, almost entirely in the 10-20kph range. Ideal offshore wind remains at 0%. Precipitation stays high at 10.04 mm/day, so river levels are still healthy. The combination can produce the most rideable and long-lived wave of the year. Water temp is 27.8°C. If you can only pick one month to chase Pororoca, March is usually it. Average air temperature is 25.6°C.
