March: Long-Period SSW Groundswell Meets Spring Wind
March sees La Bocana officially transition into the southern-hemisphere swell season. The average wave height edges up to 5ft (1.5m) and the period jumps to 12.9s, meaning the surf has real push and now favours the SSW direction overwhelmingly-SSW accounts for 43.1% of all energy, with SW (16.2%) and S (13.8%) adding more. Those 3-5ft (1-1.5m) SSW lines are the bread and butter, but 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) sets are far more common than in winter. The catch is wind: ideal conditions only 42% of the time, as WSW and SW breezes (16.5% and 15.4%) become more frequent and the afternoon sea breeze strengthens. Water temperature is warm at 27.4°C, rainfall is still minimal, and air temps average 22°C. Rides are cleanest early-before the land heats up and the onshore flow takes over-making the dawn patrol the key to unlocking March's long-period SSW power.
