February: Longer Periods, Still Mixed Directions
The average period improves to 10.5s in February, stepping into the 10-14s powerful long-period range. Heights remain around 3-4ft (1.1m), with most waves split between 2-3ft (0.5-1m) and 3-5ft (1-1.5m). Swell direction is still a messy mix: NNW (18.1%), NNE (15.7%), N (14.7%) and SSW (17.0%) all play significant roles, meaning the south-facing beach does not get the clean, focused south groundswell it needs. Ideal offshore wind drops to 20%, and although N/NNE winds are common, they are frequently in the 20-40kph range, making the ocean bumpy even when the direction is offshore. The bright spot is the weather: water temperature is a very pleasant 27.0°C and precipitation is minimal at 0.55mm/day. It's a month to stay patient and jump on the occasional SSW pulse when the wind backs off.
