March: A Southern Hemispheric Tease
March starts to tilt the swell direction balance. Northern-hemisphere N/NNE/NNW swells still make up a big chunk at 46%, but the SSW percentage jumps to nearly 27%, and the combined S/SSW/SW/WSW window now totals over 41%. This is the first real sign of southern-hemisphere energy bleeding through. Wave heights remain modest, with the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range dominating, but the average period climbs to 11.4s - a significant upgrade from February. NNW offshore winds still blow 75% of the time, so the morning surface will often be clean. Yet with ideal wind at only 51% and heights still small, Playa Teta remains a groveling, longboard-friendly spot rather than a proper wave destination. Water temp has eased to 26.1°C, air temps are around 26.8°C, and the dry season is holding with just 0.52mm/day of rain.
