Conditions at Varkala in February
February: Better Direction, Still On the Small Side
February brings a noticeable improvement in swell quality. Average wave height edges up to 2.0ft (0.6m) and the period holds at 11.1 seconds. The swell rose shows a much better alignment: SSW 37.3%, SW 20.1% and S 23.8%-so a solid majority of the waves are arriving from the optimal SW quadrant. The offshore wind frequency rises to 40%, with NE and ENE (10.8% and 10.1%) the primary directions. The trade-off is that onshore W/SW winds also appear ~26% of the time, especially in the afternoons. In typical Surfline fashion, the best waves will come with early-morning offshores and a rising SSW groundswell. With water temps at 28.8°C, it's practically tropical. February consistently offers the most user-friendly combo of clean conditions and rideable shape-though still small.
