Conditions at Ohama in February
February: Sharper ENE Swell, Still Searching For Clean Windows
February looks similar to January, with average heights easing to 5.5ft (1.7m) and periods ticking up to 7.1s. W-direction swell drops to 25%, while the eastern quadrant begins gaining influence, with ENE at 14% and E at 6%. The ideal E/ESE/SE/SSE swell total rises to about 12%, still not dominant, but enough to offer occasional windows. The wind story is more promising: W and WNW directions combine for roughly 38% of the observations, and the ideal surfable wind percentage is 20%. This means the winter setup can be excellent when the swell direction matches, with offshore WNW flow grooming an E/ESE groundswell. Expect a mix of punchy 3-6ft faces and driftier bigger days. Water temperature cools to 15.8°C, while air sits around 10.7°C and rain increases to 3.3mm/day.
