February: Stronger SSW Energy and Clean Windows
February continues the prime winter window. Average height stays at 4.6ft (1.4m) while period increases to 11.9s, giving better-organized lines. SSW is now the clear dominant swell source at 32.4%, with S at 14.3% and SW at 11.5% - together more than 58% of the energy arrives from the favorable south/southwest quadrant. NE/ENE windswell still adds about 22%, keeping the water busy. The wind picture is more mixed than January: ideal offshore flow drops to 51%, with WSW/W/SW onshore flow increasing to around 32%.
