Conditions at La Puntilla in March
March: Late-Winter Swell Holds Strong
March is still firmly in the best-surf window. Average swell height eases only slightly to around 5ft (1.5m), and the period remains at 9.4s, a sign that the North Atlantic is still sending quality, mid-period energy towards the northeast-facing coast. ENE leads again at 37%, with NE close behind at 27% and NNE at 16%. The 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) bands share the load almost equally, while the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) class remains well represented. Trades remain the main obstacle: E and ESE winds combine for nearly 54% of observations, and ENE/NE onshore lines add another 25%. The wind is ideal for surfing only 9% of the time, but late-season cold fronts can deliver brief SSW/SW windows that transform the beach into a clean, rippable gem. Air temps average 24.7°C, water 26.0°C, and rain is light at 1.31 mm/day.
