March: Trade-Wind Swell With Biting Onshore Wind
March is the first month that feels noticeably more difficult. Average swell height drops to 1.0m (3.3ft) and period to 6.6s, but the wave size profile shifts down: 48.4% of waves are now in the 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) class, with 36.7% still in the fun-size 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) range. The swell direction is still almost entirely ESE (70.4%) and E (20%). The main problem is wind - ideal offshore wind falls to just 7% of the time, the lowest of the year. The E and ESE trades are relentless, with ESE at 30.6%, E at 24.0%, SE at 13.1% and ENE at 13.4%. This is a month for the shortboard with extra foam, early mornings, and patience. Water temp is 26.5°C, air temp 23.9°C, and rainfall increases slightly to 0.86 mm/day.
