Conditions at Five Islands in February
February: Longer Periods and Cleaner Windows
February refines January's formula. The average swell height drops slightly to 3-4ft (1.1m), but the average period lengthens to 10.0s, adding more power and push to the E/ESE/SE/SSE swell trains. The distribution is healthy: ESE 17%, SE 21%, SSE 23% and E 12.5%, with most waves again in the 1-1.5m range and a scattering of 0.5-1m grovelers during lulls. Ideal offshore wind jumps to 51%, and although the NE trades remain dominant, the NNW flow supplies plenty of grooming for the southeast-facing reefs. With just 2.23mm/day of rain and water temperature at 29.1°C, February is one of the most reliable months for clean, user-friendly surf.
