Conditions at Malik's in March
March: Long-Period Southern Swell Meets the Northeast Monsoon
March is the first month where the swell window and wind window genuinely line up. The average wave period jumps to 11.3s, firmly in the powerful long-period category, and the wave rose rotates to S (30.1%), SSW (23.8%) and SW (8.4%). Those S/SSW/SW swells are mostly in the 0.5-1.5m (1.5-5ft) range, with an overall average height of 0.9m (3ft). Crucially, the wind remains ideal 52 percent of the time, and ENE/E offshore flow keeps the west-facing reef clean. What March lacks in size it makes up for in organization and rideability; expect long, grooming lines on the better SSW swells. Air temperature is 28.0°C, water temperature is 29.1°C, and rainfall is modest at 1.82 mm/day, making it a prime dawn-paddle month.
