March: More Swell, Same Clean Mornings
March marks the beginning of the seasonal transition as the Southern Hemisphere begins sending bigger, longer-period groundswell. Average height climbs to 3.5ft (1.1m) at 13.4s, and SSW swell dominates a massive 66.5% of the directional spread, with nearly half of all waves in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range. The offshore flow is still strong - NW (13.5%), NNE (13%), NNW (10%) - though ideal conditions ease slightly to 59% as the afternoon sea breeze becomes a bit more persistent. Rainfall remains minimal at 0.21mm/day, air temps hit 27.7°C and the water warms to 28.6°C. Surfers should point their boards at the dawn patrol for the cleanest corners.
