Conditions at Padang Padang in February
February: Still in the Wet Season Wringer
Slightly better than January, but only just. The average swell height remains 5-6ft (1.7m) and periods stay at 12.5s, with the SSW/SW window still accounting for over 90% of the total energy (SSW 30.9%, SW 50.3%). The good news: a bit more of that swell sits in the 6-8ft (2-2.5m) bracket (16.6%). The bad news: ideal wind drops to 22%. The wind rose is still full of westerly flow - W at 32.2%, WNW at 18.2%, WSW at 11.6% - which is onshore for this stretch of coast. Rain eases only slightly to 8.38mm/day, with air temps locked near 27.8°C and water at 29.2°C. As with January, the occasional ESE/SE burst can turn the sets on, but they remain brief interludes in an otherwise monsoon-affected pattern.
