Conditions at Beacons in March
March: Aligned Swell and a Final Clean Window
March begins the transition away from the NE monsoon, but Beacons is still firing. Average conditions hold at 3.5ft (1.1m) with a 11.3s period, and the swell direction swings almost fully into the south window - SSE and S combine for 66.7% of the total, with SSW adding another 14%. That means the reef is being hit by well-aligned, powerful groundswell. Ideal surfing wind is still present 64% of the time, though the wind rose becomes more variable, with WNW, NW and NNW flows mixing with lighter NNE/NE patterns. The cleaner windows are generally in the morning. Water has warmed to 29.7°C, air is 28.0°C, and rainfall remains low at 2.41 mm/day. It is a great last ride before the monsoon flips.
