Conditions at Playa Bluff in March
March: The Last Reliable Winter Pulse
March is still solid, though the engine begins to throttle back. NE swell remains dominant at 82%, while ENE flow becomes more common at 11%, a sign that the trades are being pulled closer to easterly. Average height slips to 1.2m (4ft) and the period stays at 8.0s, so expect a mix of waist-to-shoulder-high peaks with a few head-high bombs on the better sets. Ideal wind frequency drops to 32%, and the wind rose shows a broader spread of N, NNE and NW winds. That can make the lineup a little wonky at times, but the strength of the NE swell still makes March worth planning around. Rain remains scarce at 2.00 mm/day and water temperature has nudged up to 28.1°C.
