Conditions at Kuta in March
March: The Transition - Offshore Windows Open
March is when Kuta starts to find its rhythm. Average swell height drops to 5ft (1.5m), but the period lengthens to 13.3s, signalling more pure Southern Ocean groundswell. The direction is even more favorable, with SSW pushing 58% and SW 34%, and the wave-height distribution is concentrated in the rippable 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6ft (1.5-2m) classes.
Wind patterns shift. The monsoon westerlies weaken and the southeast trades begin to show up, but ideal surf wind reaches 43% - one of the highest of the year. That means a much better chance of clean, groomed conditions on Kuta's SSW-facing banks. With only 6.06 mm/day of rain, water temperature at 29.2°C and air temps around 27.5°C, March is a reliable all-round surf month.
