Conditions at Muli in March

March: The Transition Tightens

March delivers the highest average period of the early season at 11.2s and the best ideal-wind percentage of the year at 61%. Swell heights are still in the 1.2m (4ft) average range, but the direction distribution is now heavily S/SSW oriented - S (36.4%), SSE (31.1%), SSW (14.8%) - which is a far more direct S pulse than the earlier months. While S and SSW swells aren't the absolute optimal SSE/E windswell, they're still rideable, particularly as they wrap around the island. The wind picture flips toward the W/NW sector: WNW (13.0%), NNW (12.7%), W (11.9%), NW (11.2%) together produce long windows of offshore flow. The dry season weather holds with 2.58 mm/day precipitation and air temperatures averaging 28.0°C (25.5-29.8°C), while the water warms to 29.7°C. Expect punchy, long-period surf in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, with enough power to handle the bigger SSW sets.
