Conditions at Mikado in February
February: More Period, Same Problem
February is slightly better than January, but the balance remains tilted against quality. The average period climbs to 9.1 seconds, and the ENE/E/ESE/SE swell combination still accounts for nearly half of the wave energy (E 15.9%, ENE 12.6%, ESE 12.6%, SE 9.5%). Average height is 1.0m (3.3ft). However, the northeast monsoon is still locked in: NE (32.0%), ENE (18.7%), and NNE (21.2%) winds dominate, and ideal wind sits at just 22%. Expect short, fast, often bumpy waves on the reef; occasional clean windows come with a W/NW wind shift and a solid E/ESE swell. Water temperature warms to 28.9°C and air temperature averages 27.5°C, with rainfall down to 1.88mm/day - good weather, if only the wind would cooperate.
