Conditions at Punta Chipehua in March
March: The Transitional Sweet Spot
March is where winter and spring fight for control, and Punta Chipehua usually benefits. The average period jumps to 12.6s, ideal wind reaches 37%, and the swell rose is beautifully mixed: 10.9% from NNE, 6.7% from NE, and 44% from SSW. That means there is almost always some sort of groundswell in the water, but the quality comes down to wind. When the W/SW offshore flow takes over, the point turns clean and rippable, often in the 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) range with occasional 6ft (1.8m) bombs. The air begins to warm (avg 25.4°C), sea surface is 27.4°C, and the arrival of longer-period southern hemi swell hints at the fair season ahead.
