Conditions at Cabo de San Antonio in March
March: A Late-Season Improvement in Direction
March holds average swell height at 3.6ft (1.1m) and period drops slightly to 6.3s. The good news is the SSE-SW swell sector reaches a seasonal high of about 16% of the total, and the SSE component adds more south in the water. SE (15.0%), ESE (12.5%), SSE (12.3%), and ENE (10.5%) are the leading wave directions. The bad news is that the offshore wind window drops to 14%, the lowest of the winter months, as E/ESE trades strengthen and blow 20-40kph more often. This makes surface conditions the limiting factor. Still, with warm air averaging 25.3°C, water at 26.1°C, and just 0.96 mm/day of rain, March offers some of the most comfortable session windows of the year when the wind cooperates.
