Conditions at Punta del Confital in March
March: Winter's Last Stand
March still carries winter in its bones. Average wave heights are 6ft (1.8m), periods are 11.7s, and the north/north-west swell machine keeps running: NNW (45.5%), N (19.1%) and NNE (10.8%) combine for roughly 75% of all wave energy. The SW-W window remains a tease at 1.5%, so quality still leans on refraction and a west tilt. Winds become more spring-like: NNE (23.6%) and NE (20.2%) dominate, and 45% of the time the wind is ideal. Onshore flow from the SSW-to-W quadrant is still modest at around 8%. Water temp stays cool at 18.8°C, air temp 17.9°C, and rain is decreasing. March is a good month to score if you can catch a clean window between the last big Atlantic lows and the building trades.
