Conditions at Kuta Reef in February
February: Still Stuck in the Wet-Season Rut
February remains in the clutches of the northwest monsoon. Ideal wind nudges up to 22%, but the prevailing winds are once again from the west - W (36.1%), WNW (17.0%) and WSW (9.3%) - at 10-30kph, putting an onshore cap on the northwest-facing lineup. The surf averages 5-6ft (1.5-2.0m) with a 12.5s period, and SSW/SW swells account for 30.9% and 50.3% respectively. That gives the reef plenty of size but often poor surface conditions. Rainfall remains heavy at 8.84mm/day, air temps hover near 25.4°C, and the sea surface stays warm at 29.2°C. Patience is key: every few days a burst of E/ESE/SE wind cleans up a pulsing SSW/SW swell, and then Kuta Reef can still deliver well overhead barrels.
