March: Transitional Energy and a Cleaner Outlook
March is the turning point. Average height remains around 5ft (1.5m), but the period ticks up to 13.0s and ideal-wind percentage jumps to 34%. Swell becomes even more SSW-dominant, with SSW accounting for 53.4% of all observations and S/SW/WSW adding another 41.3%. Wave heights cluster in the rideable 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range at 54%, with a solid 32% in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range. The WNW onshore flow is still present at 17.4%, but it is much weaker than in January or February, and the offshore S/SSW/SW/WSW directions appear far more frequently. Rainfall eases to 7.8mm/day, air temps hover near 27.7°C, and water remains warm at 29.1°C. The window for clean, powerful surf is starting to open, especially on days with a morning offshore.
