March: First Real Glimpses of Cleaner Surf
March signals the first meaningful transition toward the trade-wind season. The ideal offshore wind percentage jumps to 27 percent, while onshore NW, NNW and WNW winds still total around 51 percent. Swell direction remains a mix: SSE/SE dominates with about 65 percent of the wave distribution, but the strongest core of the season is absent. The average swell height is 0.8m (2-3ft), yet the average period climbs to 7.9s, the highest of the wet-season months, suggesting punchier, more organized lines when the wind cooperates. The last decent W/WNW contributions of the monsoon season can still produce 1-1.5m waves if you can find a morning E/SE offshore window.
Expect high humidity and 8.53mm/day of rain, air temperatures around 27.8C and water temperature still warm at 29.6C. March is an in-between month: still sloppy at times, but the first real hope of clean Daugo waves is beginning to appear.
