Conditions at Gaukendi Bridge in March
March: Lengthening Periods, Shifting Winds
March marks the beginning of the monsoon transition, and while the surf quality remains good, the reliability starts to waver. Ideal wind drops to 44% as the NE trades begin to relax and westerly winds - the onshore enemies of this spot - start to appear more frequently. The average swell height is still a manageable 1.2m (4ft), but the average period stretches to 11.2s, signaling the arrival of more distant, powerful southern ocean swells. Swell direction shifts slightly toward the west: now 22% of the energy comes from the SSW through W window, up from 18% in February. The dominant directions are still S (36%) and SSE (31%), which means the reef is getting a lot of wrap-around energy rather than direct hits. Water temperature climbs to 29.7°C, air temps to 28.0°C, and rainfall remains low at 2.58 mm/day. Mornings tend to offer cleaner offshore conditions, while afternoons can become bumpy with a seabreeze - so time your session early.
