March: Early Spring Punch

March starts to soften slightly but remains an excellent month for Bakio. The average swell height is 1.8m (6ft) with a 12.1s period, and NW reaches its highest absolute share of the year at 40.4 percent. WNW adds 19.7 percent and NNW contributes another 12.7 percent, so the direction is near-perfect. The wave heights shift a little smaller than midwinter, but there are still strong clusters in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft), 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) and 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) classes. Ideal offshore winds drop to 26 percent, and while SSW and S winds still give some clean windows, the W/WNW winds become more common and can cross up the surface. Air temperatures rise to 11.2°C, water temperature is 12.8°C and rainfall eases to 2.69mm/day. March is a transition month that can still deliver proper winter-style sessions between early spring weather systems.
