March: Ground Swell Builds as the Wind Starts to Hedge
March is a transition flavored month. The average swell height ticks up to 1.1m (around 3.5ft) and the period lengthens to 13.4s, meaning the SSW engine is really starting to send quality ground swell. Directionally, SSW (66.5%) and S (22.3%) dominate, and a larger portion of the waves sit in the clean 3-5ft (1-1.5m) pocket, with a few 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) sets beginning to appear. The offshore wind machine is still strong enough: NNE (12.9%), NW (13.5%) and NNW (10.0%) combine for 56% ideal conditions. However, the wet season is approaching, and you can feel it in the slightly higher rain totals (0.21 mm/day) and warmer water (28.6°C). March offers excellent long-period surf, but the daily sea breeze window starts to narrow.
