March: Long-Period Groundswell Starts to Fire
March is when Playa Venao starts to show its true potential. The average period climbs to a solid 12.4s, and the productive SSW sector now delivers 38 percent of the wave energy, with SW adding another 13 percent. That puts more than half of the swell in the favourable south-west window. Offshore winds remain common from the N, NNE and NNW quadrant, giving a 55 percent ideal-wind score. Rainfall is still low in the dry season at 0.71mm/day, air temps average 26.5°C and the water dips to 25.9°C. Expect plenty of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf with occasional 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) sets on the best pulses.
