March: Monsoon Fade and Unsettled Winds
March signals the slow death of the northeast monsoon. Average swell drops to 3-4ft (1.1m) with a workable period of 7.4s. Swell direction is still dominated by NNE (55.7%) and NE (26.4%), but the energy is less consistent and punchy. The wind regime becomes more variable; ENE (16.6%) and NE (16.5%) lead, but there are increased amounts of WNW (5.7%), NW (5.8%) and NNW (8.6%) winds, often light. Ideal wind windows fall to 37%. With air temperatures heating up to 26.5°C, water at 26.5°C and minimal rain, it is a pleasant but underwhelming surf month. The better sessions will be on the small-scale northwesterly windswell that occasionally aligns with the bay.
