Conditions at The Ranch in February
February: Slightly More Southwesterly Energy, Still Plenty of Clean Windows
February maintains the winter momentum with average surf height at 4ft (1.2m) and a 13.5-second wave period. The energy shifts a little further into the southwest, with SW delivering 43.6 percent of the swell and WSW another 33.3 percent; nearly nine out of ten waves arrive from the favorable S/SSW/SW/WSW window. There are occasional 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) SW and W sets, so the top end of the range still has punch.
Ideal wind drops to 47 percent, but the offshore N/NE component remains strong enough (NE 15%, NNE 9%) to groom the swell in the early hours. As the day wears on, SSW and SW sea breezes become more likely - onshore wind totals climb to 43 percent compared to January. With air temperatures around 25.3°C, water at 27.6°C, and very little rain, February is still a solid surf month if you play the morning tide and wind windows.
