March: Winter's Last Big Push
March is still very much a winter swell month, with an average swell height of 1.5m and a 10.0s period. The swell distribution is broad, led by NE (32%), NNE (24%) and ENE (23%), and there is a noticeable chunk of 2-2.5m energy out of the NNE, suggesting that late-season cold fronts are still delivering some of the biggest waves of the season. Ideal wind conditions arrive 66% of the time, largely from ENE, E, and NE, so surface conditions are frequently favorable.
Air temperatures warm slightly to 25.8°C, matching the February mark, while water temperature is 26.4°C. Precipitation remains modest at 1.56 mm/day, creating a stable, surfable pattern as the season transitions.
