Oranjestad, Aruba
Pick your travel dates to see the odds.
March continues Aruba's dry stretch with rain easing further to 5.4 days on average, while highs climb slightly to 81.8°F and humidity holds at 77%.
Lows warm to 77.3°F, and the trade winds remain a constant, reliable presence, Aruba rarely feels as hot as its temperature numbers alone suggest, thanks to that wind.
The sea holds steady at 80°F, the coolest reading of the year but still entirely comfortable for swimming, snorkeling, or a boat trip to the nearby shipwreck dive sites.
Carnival celebrations typically wrap up by early March (the exact timing shifts with the Lent calendar each year), so late March tends to be noticeably calmer than the festival-heavy weeks of January and February.
No hurricane activity is recorded historically for March, keeping this firmly within Aruba's consistently low-risk season.
Spring break brings some crowd increase to Aruba starting in mid-March, though it's considerably calmer than Cancún's version, Aruba's resort scene skews more toward couples and families than a party-focused spring break crowd.
Windsurfing and kitesurfing conditions remain outstanding through March, and this is a strong month for the Aruba Hi-Winds competition circuit that the island's wind reputation is partly built on.
Arikok National Park's Conchi natural pool and the island's desert interior are comfortable to explore in March's dry, breezy conditions, before the year's heat really builds.
Pack light, breathable clothing, sun protection, and a windbreaker for boat trips, March's steady trade winds make for excellent sailing and watersports conditions.
