March: The North Swell Hangs On as Summer Creeps Closer
March is a transitional month at Guajataca. Average swell height drops slightly to 0.7m and average period falls to 6.7s, but the N/NNE/NE/NNW combination still holds at around 7% of the spectrum. The first half of the month can still produce the last synoptic-scale north pulses of the season, with fun 2-3ft (0.5-1m) surf and occasional 3-5ft (1-1.5m) sets. The ESE continues to dominate at 57.9%, while SE swell grows to 18.3% - a sign that the trade-wind swell machine is taking over. Wind conditions become slightly more favourable for offshore flow, with southerly quadrant winds around 4.6% and ideal wind at 18%. Still, ENE and E combine for over 59% of the wind observations, so most days stay cross-onshore. Air temperatures warm to 25.3°C (20.1-31.6°C) and water temperature remains warm at 26.4°C, making the last winter windows feel pleasant and tropical.
