Conditions at Inatel in March
March: The Last Big Push of Winter
March is the final full month of the main winter window. Swell height comes down just a touch to 3ft (0.9m) and the average period settles at 10.6s, so there is still real strength in the water. W and WNW swell continue to dominate, with WSW at 11% and NW at 13%, and the S/SW corridor still produces enough energy to keep Inatel alive. The ocean is beginning to warm, but the winter storm track has not fully released its grip.
Offshore winds are ideal 27% of the time, with NNW leading the charge at 20% and NW close behind. This is still a reliable month for clean, powerful surf, though the consistency starts to fade compared with January and February. Air temperatures average 14.4°C, precipitation is 1.87 mm/day, and water temperature sits at 15.7°C.
