February: Still Fighting the Monsoon
February is very similar to January, and the ongoing NW monsoon keeps Periscopes in a wind-affected cycle. Swell continues to pour out of the SSW (18.0%) and SW (76.1%), averaging 1.3m (4ft) with a 12.9s period. The direction is close to ideal, but the wind is not: NW leads the wind rose at 18.5%, followed by WNW (15.9%), W (14.1%) and WSW (12.8%), meaning the majority of time is spent with onshore or cross-onshore conditions. Ideal windows sit at 11%. Water temperatures stay a balmy 29.3°C and the daily rain average is 7.26mm. Keep an eye on localized wind shifts, but February is a month for patience rather than flawless waves.
