March: Drier Air and a Slightly More Direct Swell
March keeps the winter quality while starting to shift the swell window to the southwest. The average swell height is 3.5ft (1.1m), the period holds at 13.5s, and ideal offshore wind remains high at 86%. The directional mix is more balanced than midwinter: W takes 45%, WSW 27%, WNW 21%, and SW contributes 6.5%. With more WSW/SW energy in the mix, a larger share of the swell lines up directly with La Lancha's SSW exposure. The result is punchier peaks and a noticeable increase in southwest groundswell quality.
Wind-wise, NNW is still dominant at 42%, and NW (21%) and N (15%) combine to keep the beach mostly offshore. This is also one of the driest months of the year with just 0.33mm/day of precipitation, an average air temperature of 23.5°C and water temperatures at their annual minimum of 24.4°C. March offers excellent surf in a dry, quiet weather pattern.
