March: First Taste of Clean Air
March marks the transition out of the wet season. Ideal wind leaps to 46%, and the trades start to re-establish - E (9.5%), ESE (11.4%), SE (7.0%) and SSE (3.1%) combine for around 31%, while westerly winds begin to weaken. The swell averages 5-6ft (1.5-2.0m) with a powerful 13.3s period, sourced primarily from SSW (58.8%) and SW (30.8%). The 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range is well represented, making the reef solid rather than marginal. Rain drops to 6.12mm/day, water temp is still warm at 29.3°C, and the windows between retreating monsoon pulses and strengthening SE trades can produce the first truly clean long-period sessions of the year.
