Conditions at Los Patos de Barahona in March
March: Spring Easing
March marks the first step down from winter. Average height drops slightly to 3ft (1m), and the period softens to 6.6s. The swell remains almost entirely E/ESE, with ESE at 70 percent and E at 20 percent; the SE component grows a touch to 8.5 percent. Wind patterns stay trade-dominated, with ENE at 43 percent and E at 31 percent, so clean offshore windows fall to just 2 percent of the time. Water sits at a warm 26.5°C and air temperatures are around 23.9°C, making it a pleasant month to be in the water but a frustrating one for wave quality. The occasional spring cold front can still flip winds to the W/NW, turning the lumpy 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) windswell into something rewarding for an hour or two.
