March: The Best Wind-to-Swell Trade-Off
March is arguably the pick of the year at Sero Beach. The average period jumps to 7.9s and the average swell height holds at 0.8m (2.6ft), but more importantly the SSE swell engine starts to kick in: SSE directions account for 56.8 percent of the spectrum, with 11 percent arriving in the fun 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) range and another 1.1 percent pushing into the 1.5-2m (4.9-6.6ft) zone. SE and S swell add nearly another 16 percent, while W-WNW swell remains a background player.
Wind is still favorable, with the NW/NNW quadrant dominating and 53 percent ideal conditions. The SE trade winds are beginning to make cameo appearances-wind from SE reaches 6.7 percent, compared to under 4 percent in February-which is why March sits at the tail end of the best season. With air temperatures around 24.6°C, water at 29.6°C and 8.63mm/day of rain, expect tropical showers to mix into otherwise clean, punchy sessions. If you time the windows, March often delivers the best combination of quality and length of ride.
