March: Last Monsoon Hurrah
March is the final strong month of the northwest monsoon, with an average swell height of 1.0m (3ft) and period 9.2s. The swell mix shifts a bit more to the NNE (39.9%) and NE (10.3%), while NNW still contributes 31.7%. The ideal wind percentage drops slightly to 39%, but NW (23.8%) and WNW (23.2%) continue to supply the same cross-offshore flow that works so well here. Water temperature is 28.6°C, air temperature 27.2°C, and precipitation is at its highest of the year at 6.63 mm/day. The waves remain punchy and rideable, but the monsoon trough starts breaking down, leading to more variable conditions as April approaches.
