Conditions at Inside Rights in March
March: Strong SSW Swell, Slightly Less Wind
Autumn has arrived in the Southern Hemisphere and the swell engine starts to look south. The average period lengthens to 13.0s and average height remains 5ft (1.5m), but now a massive 53% of all wave energy comes from the SSW. That is as centered on the optimum exposure as it gets, and the 3-6ft (1-2m) class takes up nearly 87% of the distribution. Ideal wind percentages drop to 33%, but there are still plenty of clean windows. The monsoon is starting to lose its grip, so W (17%) and WNW (15%) winds are frequent, although more S, SW and WSW components creep in. Rain moderates to 7.8mm/day, air temps stay at 27.7°C and water sits at a warm 29.2°C.
