February: Better Wind Odds, Still Summer Grip
February brings a slight improvement in the wind luck: ideal surfing wind jumps to 20% of the time.

The S/SSW wind flow is strong and persistent, combining for around 60% of all observations, but much of it blows between 20-40kph, which can chunk up the face. Water temp is 26.0°C, air temp averages 30.4°C and rainfall rises to 1.16mm/day. It is still summer, but the swell is slowly starting to find its winter rhythm.
