Conditions at Sultans in February
February: Slightly Smaller, Slightly Cleaner
February keeps the same northeast monsoon skeleton but with a noticeable drop in size. The average swell height eases to 3ft (0.9m), while ENE (53 per cent) and E (20.5 per cent) remain the dominant swell directions. Most of the energy is in the 1.6-3.3ft (0.5-1m) bracket, with a small 4.9-6.6ft (1.5-2m) component. The wave period stays short at 6.7s, so the surf is still fundamentally trade-wind swell. The promising change is in the wind rose: the ideal W-NW offshore quadrant climbs to 26 per cent, and there are more light NNW and west observations mixed into the prevailing NE-ENE flow. Water temperatures have risen to 28.8°C, air sits at 27.4°C, and precipitation is even drier at 1.04mm/day. It is still a groveler's month, but the clean windows are a bit more frequent than in January.
