March: The Transition Turns On
March marks the first real transition of the year. The average swell dips slightly to 1.6m (5.2ft), but the calendar flips to a longer period of 13.3 seconds, adding extra punch to the southwest groundswell. The direction tally is almost entirely from the southern quadrant - SSW accounts for 58.8% and SW another 30.8% - which is exactly where Nyang Nyang wants it. Wave heights are most common in the 3-6ft (1-1.8m) range, with many 5-6ft (1.5-2m) sets from SSW in the 1.5-2m class.
The regional pressure pattern is in between regimes. West winds are still present at 18.4%, but east to southeast trades are beginning to build, holding the ideal wind percentage at a solid 34% - the second-highest of the year. Rain drops to 5.83 mm/day, air temps sit at 27.9°C and water temperature is 29.3°C. With more morning offshore and north to northeast wind, March starts to offer high-quality, rippable surf without the heavy crowds of the peak dry season.
