Conditions at Playa Grande in March
March: Final Strong Push Before Spring
March is the last true winter month for Playa Grande, and it does not go down quietly. Average heights hold at 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m), with the longest average period of the year at 9.5s. The swell chart is well balanced: ENE (34.8 percent), NE (22.5 percent), E (18.9 percent) and NNE (13.8 percent) mean the north-east quadrant is well represented. N and NNW directions add another 5.4 percent, so proper north swell pulses are still a real possibility. Wind still leans E/ESE, with ideal south flow only 28 percent of the time. March requires the same patience as January and February, but late-season cold fronts can deliver clean offshore mornings and firing surf in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.4m) range. Water temperature is 26.2°C and air temperature averages 24.9°C.
