Conditions at Ekas in March
March: Transition Winds Bring the First Hope
March is the turning point as the northwest monsoon weakens. The average swell drops slightly to 3-5ft (1-1.5m), but the period lengthens to 13.4s, making the waves that do arrive more organized. Swell direction is now overwhelmingly SSW at 63.6 percent, with SW adding another 32.6 percent, and there are still plenty of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves plus some 5-6ft (1.5-2m) bombs. The wind story is much more mixed: ESE and SE flows start to appear while W and WNW winds still linger, which lifts ideal surf wind to 42 percent. Rain drops to 6.06 mm/day and water remains warm at 29.3°C. The surf is not yet at peak quality, but the first real clean-swell windows emerge, especially on the days when the southeast trades take over.
