March: Fading Swell, Shifting Winds
March is where the Amihan season starts to lose its grip. The average swell height retreats to 1.6ft (0.5m), the average period shortens to 6.4s, and ideal wind falls to just 16%. NNW swell is still the primary direction at 84.4%, but 68% of all heights are below 2ft (0.5m), leaving only around 26% in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) range and 5% in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range. A small but noticeable increase in NW, WNW, and W swell starts to appear as the monsoon transitions. With such short-period energy and fewer offshore days, the surf turns average-to-messy, more suited to a longboard than a step-up. Air temperature climbs to 23.0°C, water temperature is 26.9°C, and rainfall is still manageable at 1.59mm/day. March is a shoulder month: check the charts for a late-season pulse, but do not expect much.
