March: Spring Swell Begins to Strengthen
March marks the start of the spring swell ramp. The average wave height rises to 3.9ft (1.2m), and the period lengthens to a powerful 13.7 seconds. The swell window is split between SSW at 42% and SW at 49%, with a small WSW component of 9%. Wave heights become more solid, with 77% of waves in the clean, rippable 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range and another 9% pushing into the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) zone. The trade-off is wind quality: ideal conditions sit at only 11%, as WNW and W winds dominate and tend to put a text on the surface. With just 0.14 mm/day of rain, 25.2°C air and 27.4°C water, the weather side is pleasant; the surf just needs some patience. Catch the morning windows and March can absolutely deliver.
