Conditions at Salina Cruz in March
March: Southern Swell Takes Over
March marks a clear transition toward the southern-hemisphere swell season. The SSW component surges to 43.1%, while S swell adds 13.0%, and the NNW share drops to 23.3%. Average height is 1.5m (5ft) with a powerful average period of 11.4s, firmly in the long-period range. The wind regime, however, is split between NNW at 28.0% and S at 23.1%, with ideal surfing conditions at 34%. This means more long-period S/SSW groundswell is arriving, but you may have to pick your spots and wait for W/NW offshore winds to groom the surface. Water temperature has warmed to 27.2°C, precipitation is still low at 0.13mm/day, and air temperatures average 26.6°C. Morning sessions before the thermal south wind kicks up are the go-to.
