Conditions at Car-rille in March
March: The Monsoon Begins to Fade
March is a shoulder month. The northeast monsoon is losing its grip, and the average wave height drops to 0.5m (1.5-2ft) with the period falling to 6.4s. NNW remains the primary swell source at 84.4 percent, but there is a noticeable increase in NW (5.0 percent) and WNW (2.1 percent) energy as the direction shifts slightly toward the west. This means more of the swell enters the ideal west-facing window, yet the decreased size keeps things small and groveling. Ideal wind drops to 12 percent as the trade wind pattern weakens and more S/SW winds begin to filter in. Air and water temps climb to 27.3°C and 26.9°C, and rain is still minor at 1.12mm/day. Bring a groveler and be ready to chase the peaks.
