Conditions at Lanuza in March
March: Monsoon Moderation and Cleaner Windows
March starts to transition out of the peak monsoon. Average swell height eases to 1.0m (3.3ft) but the period holds at a solid 9.2s. The swell window is now dominated by ENE at 78.9 percent, with NE at 16.6 percent and only 0.8 percent from NNE. The loss of true NE energy means more of the swell is east of Lanuza, but the waves that do arrive are still mostly in the 0.5-1.5m (1.6-5ft) range and can be fun and rippable for a north-facing setup. Ideal winds improve to 26 percent of the time as the strongest onshore N and NE trade winds back off. With air temps around 25.7°C, water temp 27.8°C and precipitation down to 8.87mm/day, the trade-off is becoming clear: a bit less size but noticeably cleaner, more enjoyable surf.
