March: The Trades Begin Their Takeover
March is a true transition month. The average swell height eases slightly to 5ft (1.6m), but the period jumps to 13.3s, signaling more organized, longer-period Southern Ocean energy. Swell direction is almost perfect: SSW supplies 58.8% and SW another 30.8%, with the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range dominating. More importantly, the wind field is shifting. W winds are still present at 20.9%, but E (9.5%), ENE (6.3%) and ESE (11.4%) winds are becoming common players. Ideal wind percentages double from February to 45%. Rain drops to 6.12mm/day, water is a warm 29.3°C, and mornings offer increasingly clean sandbar peaks as the dry-season trade flow establishes itself.
