Conditions at Telescopes in February
February: Stuck Between Monsoons
February remains locked in the northwest monsoon, but the wind is fractionally more favorable than January, with ideal conditions 27% of the time. WNW (14.1%) and NW (16.1%) still produce plenty of onshore flow, although the SE component is starting to creep up. The swell mix is still dominated by SSW (63%) and SW (26%), while the average wave height sits near 3ft (1.0m) and the period lengthens slightly to 12.7 seconds. Those long-period pulses can wrap nicely into the west-facing reef, but they are often small and bumpy. Water temperature rises to 29.3°C and rainfall drops slightly to 8.08 mm/day. Keep expectations honest and be ready to jump when an overnight offshore easterly window cleans up the lineup.
