Conditions at Manangat in March
March: The Fade Begins
March is a shoulder month, and you can feel the northeast monsoon loosening its grip. Average height fades to 2-3ft (0.7m), period shortens to 6.6s, and the wave rose still holds around 90 percent N/NNE/NNW energy, but the height distribution shifts toward the 0.5-1m class. The bigger 3-5ft (1-1.5m) swells become less frequent.
Ideal offshore wind days slip to 26 percent. The N/NNE/NE/ENE winds are still present early in the day, but lighter, more variable winds and the first hints of S/SW monsoon flow make the afternoons messier. Air temperature climbs to 26.3°C, precipitation remains manageable at 0.86mm per day, and water temperature is 26.6°C.
In March, Manangat is best thought of as a groveling spot. The swell is small, the period is average, and you need a longer, fun-sized board to make the most of the soft 2-3ft (0.7m) peaks that wrap into the bay.
