March: Winter Energy Fades and South Swells Creep In
March is a transition month. Average swell height eases to 3.3ft (1.0m) and the period stays a solid 13.5s, but the swell direction becomes more mixed. WNW/NW still contributes 29% of the energy, while south/south-southeast swells start to appear more regularly, with S at 11.3% and SSE at 8.6%. These southerly angles are less ideal for the WSW-facing beach, although the W and WSW components still offer occasional lined-up days. Ideal offshore wind is available 28% of the time, mostly from N/NNE before the daily sea breeze kicks in. With the highest average rainfall of the year at 3.48mm/day and water temp at 24.5°C, expect cloudy, showery days as the North Pacific slowly loses steam.
