February: A Clean Window Between Swell Pulses
February holds at an average swell height of around 3.5ft (1.1m), but the average period lengthens to 12.6s, marking a transition toward more organized Southern Hemisphere groundswell. The SSW/SW window is well loaded: SSW accounts for 36% and SW for 29.4%, with an additional 14.6% from WSW, so over 80% of the energy arrives from the favorable side of the compass. Heights cluster in the 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) band, with touches of 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) from WSW/W/WNW; the best waves come from the SSW pulses. The main limiting factor is wind: ideal offshore days slip to 48%, and WSW/W flow eats into many sessions. Early morning and late evening provide the cleanest windows, while afternoon westerly seabreezes add texture. Air temperatures average 27.4°C with a range of 24-31.2°C, water temperature sits at 28.3°C, and rainfall is minimal at 0.22 mm/day.
