Conditions at Yumuri in March

March: Last Call for Winter Swells

March still has one foot in winter, with average heights of 3.5ft (1.0m) and a period of 6.2s, but the energy is slowly beginning to fade. The ENE quadrant remains dominant at 64%, while NE swell contributes 17%, and the bigger 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) bands are still present but less frequent than in January. Strong ENE winds still blow around 36% of the time, and the 20-40kph range is well represented, so onshore/cross-shore texture is common. Offshore S/SW flow occurs just 9% of the time, and when it does show up, exposed sandbars can make the most of the consistent trade-wind swell. Think punchy, short-period waves rather than long, lined-up groundswell. Water temperature is 25.9°C, air temperatures are creeping up to 25.1°C, and rainfall remains modest at 1.16mm/day. If you are chasing a last proper north pulse before summer, this is the final month to look.
