February: A Cleaner Trade-Wind Swell
February begins to breathe. The NE monsoon is still present, with NE winds at 34.1% and ENE at 21.5%, but the stronger 30-40kph component weakens and W/WNW/NW/N winds become more frequent. Ideal conditions jump to 32%. The swell mix rotates in a better direction: ESE (16.2%), SE (13.1%), SSE (15.6%) and S (11.0%) now make up more than half the spectrum, while E/ENE sources are less dominant. Average height is 3-4ft (1.1m) and period lengthens to 9.5s, adding punch and making the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) surf feel far more lined-up. Water temperature is 27.9°C, air 27.5°C, and rainfall is minimal at 0.68mm/day. This is a consistent, above-average month for Kanyakumari.
