Puerto Escondido in March

Peak

Great early, complicated late: superb dry-season weather, but if Semana Santa falls in March the coast fills wall-to-wall.

Weather

Dry and heating up toward the April–May peak. Sun essentially guaranteed.

Sea & surf

Transition month: south swells start testing Zicatela; coves still friendly.

What's on

Whale season winds down early-month. The one date that matters: Semana Santa (moves with Easter, March or April) — Mexico’s biggest beach holiday, when domestic tourism packs every beach and room.
