March: The Long Period Tease
March is the lightest month for surf but offers an expanding period curve: the average period reaches 13.1s, and 80% of the direction distribution is SSW. That distant energy is real, but the height distribution tells the whole story - a 1ft (0.3m) average, with just 1% of waves reaching the 1.6-3.3ft (0.5-1m) range. The wind is still hostile: NNW at 55% and ideal offshore wind only 1% of the time. Rain is still scarce at 0.58 mm/day, air temperature averages 27.5°C, and water temperature bottoms out at 24.7°C. If you find one of those rare moments where a NW offshore breeze aligns with a 13s SSW pulse, you might scratch out a knee-to-waist-high, glassy wave. It will be brief.
