February: Locked in Summer but Slightly More Offshore Windows
February remains locked in the summer pattern, but there is a slight uptick in ideal wind frequency to 17%. Average swell height is 6ft (1.8m) with a 11.9s period, and again SW (33.9%) and SSW (33.1%) are the primary swell directions, supported by S (9.9%) and WSW (5.0%). The bulk of the energy sits in the 3-8ft (1-2.5m) range, keeping the reef playful. Wind observations still show a strong SE/SSE/S dominance (18.1/25.8/17.0%), but the ESE component increases to 10.1%, giving slightly more offshore-sensitive windows. The mornings are your friend. Water temp climbs to 21.0°C, and rain is scarce at 0.45 mm/day, so it's an easy month to miss the good pulses if you chase the seabreeze.
