February: The Toughest Wind Month
February offers the lowest percentage of ideal surf wind on the calendar. Only 7% of observations show offshore SW-WNW flow, while N/NNE/NNW trades hold over 92% of the wind rose, with many readings blowing 20-40kph. Swell remains a similar mix to January - N (14.7%), NNE (15.7%), NNW (18.1%) and SSW (17.0%) - and the average period improves slightly to 10.5s. The optimal eastern swell window is nearly absent, so the better days rely on the northern or southern pulses wrapping into the ENE-facing beach. Most surf is still 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m), but surface conditions are often raw and lumpy. Air temperatures average 26.1°C, water temp dips to 27.0°C and rainfall is only 0.55 mm/day.
