Conditions at Coco Pipe in March
March: The Last Great Winter Pulses
March remains a winter swell month, but there is a subtle shift. The average height slips to 5ft (1.5m), and the period stays solid at 9.4s. The direction mix is still excellent: ENE (37%), NE (27%) and NNE (16%) combine for 80% of all swell energy from the optimal window. The surf is punchy, powerful and very consistent, often with more direct NE character than midwinter. That slight NE weighting lines up beautifully with the NNE-facing beach.
The trade-wind regime is still in charge, with E/ESE winds at 51% and ENE winds adding another 15%. Ideal offshore wind drops to 16%, so clean conditions remain the exception rather than the rule. Still, the ocean has enough size and period to keep Coco Pipe interesting throughout the month. Air temperature averages 24.7°C, water temperature sits at 26.1°C, and rainfall is modest at 1.31 mm/day.
