Conditions at Lances Left in February
February: Still Searching for Clean Windows
February resembles January with a slight improvement in period (10.4s) but the same small 2-3ft (0.8m) average height. The swell is heavily banked in the SW/SSW window: SSW 28%, SW 44%, WSW 20%, and roughly 80% is 0.5-1m (2-3ft). Winds remain monsoon-dominated, with WNW (17%), NW (20%) and NNW (14%) combined over 50%, while the SE trade wind is just beginning to trickle in. Ideal wind conditions still sit at 33% of the time. Water temps climb to 29.2°C and rainfall eases slightly to 7.3mm/day. The longer period compared to January helps the small swell take on shape, but you are still chasing light, offshore NE/E gaps between the cross-shore monsoon surges.
