Conditions at Lakey Peak in March
March: Monsoon Transition Begins
March is the first sign of change. The swell mix shifts slightly more southerly, with 46% from SSW and 51% from SW, and the average period extends to 13.5s. Wave heights remain consistent in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) zone, though a solid portion of 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) sets roll through. More importantly, the wind table starts to loosen: ESE/SE/SSE trade-wind signals appear, and ideal conditions climb to 36%. However, onshore W/NW flow still handles roughly half the days, so quality is far from consistent. Rainfall drops to 5.05mm/day, water temperature stays warm at 29.4°C, and the window for clean, long-period surf starts to widen noticeably.
