Conditions at Majanicho in March
March: Swell Persists, Wind Quality Fades
March is the last true month of consistently solid NW swell at Majanicho before the spring transition sets in. Average wave height remains a healthy 2.1m (6.9ft), with the period easing slightly to 12.0s - still enough to produce powerful, organised walls. The direction mix is actually very favourable: 72% of all swell comes from the N/WNW/NW/NNW window, and NNW swell is a dominant 39%. The problem is the wind. The Azores High begins to re-establish, and the trades blow harder from the NNE, making up 30% of all observations. Combined with NNW onshore flow at 13% and N wind at 8%, clean conditions shrink to just 11% of the time. Early mornings and days with a light offshore S/SW breeze are the ones to chase. Water temp is 18.3°C, air temp is 18.0°C, and rainfall stays low.
