Conditions at P-Land in March

March: Longest Periods of the Dry Season

March sees the average swell period peak at 13.3s, making the waves even more powerful for their size. Direction remains almost entirely SSW (92%), with the rest from SW (8%). The height distribution is overwhelmingly 2-3ft (0.5-1m) - around 96 percent of the total - so while you will not be chasing 10ft bombs, the long period brings a deceptive amount of torque to the break. The offshore wind window stays strong at 44 percent, with ENE/E/ESE light winds frequent. The first hints of the wet season appear in precipitation (0.72mm/day) and a slightly warmer air mass with max temperatures up to 36.1°C, but the water remains a steady 28.8°C. For a west-facing spot, March is one of the best months to find glassy, long-interval surf.
