February: The Strongest Trade-Wind Grip
February remains part of the nominal winter window, but the data show the easterly trade machine getting even stronger. E and ENE swells dominate with roughly 60% of the spectrum (35.2% E + 25.3% ENE), while N, NNW and NW swell still make up about 11-12%. Average surf height is 2.3ft (0.7m) and average period is 3.3s, meaning waves are small, short-period and mostly wind-driven. Wind observations tell a similar story: ENE and E winds together account for about 50% of all wind reports, frequently in the 20-40kph range, and this cross-onshore flow keeps the surface lumpy. The ideal S/SSW/SW offshore wind window remains extremely narrow at 2%. The best days are tied to strong winter cold fronts that push through the Florida Straits and swing winds to the S/SW while a fresh NNW swell fills in. Those days are rare but they are the February highlight. With air temperatures around 24.2°C and water 25.1°C, you can surf in boardshorts or a light spring suit when the wind allows.
