Conditions at Badoc Point in March
March: Transition in Progress
March is a shoulder month, and the drop-off is obvious. Average swell height falls to 3.5ft (1.1m), period hangs at 7.4s, and ideal wind drops to 37%. The swell is still mostly NNE (55.7%) and NE (26.4%), which continues to shortchange Badoc's WNW exposure. The favorable W/NW/NNW window is only about 2.4%, so consistency is poor, although the distribution starts to spread out.
Winds are lighter and more variable: NE (16.5%), ENE (16.6%), E (10.3%), and increasingly NW/NNW as the northeast monsoon loosens its grip. That can mean some clean, small days on the N/NNW angles, especially as water temperatures warm to 26.5 degrees Celsius and rain stays low at 0.59mm/day. This is not a month to expect classic Badoc; it is a month to be selective and maybe find an exposed peak when a weak NW pulse filters through.
