March: Peak Offshore Wind Potential
March marks a turning point: the average period reaches 12.2s and ideal wind jumps to 22 percent, among the year's best. The swell field remains small-averaging 2.3ft (0.7m)-but highly directional, with SSW swell accounting for 88 percent and SW for the remainder. Waves in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range are a touch more common, but the bulk of the surf is in the clean 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) range. The tendency for lighter northeast-to-east offshore winds to develop in the mornings offers the best chance of glassy conditions at Olende this month. Water temperature is a sultry 29.4°C (85°F) and air temperatures stay tropical, with rainfall beginning to increase.
