February: Stronger Periods Under the Dry-Season Trade Winds
February stays deep in the dry-season groove. Ideal wind clocks 51 percent of the time, and the N/NNE/NNW offshore regime continues to dominate, with gusts occasionally reaching the 30-40kph bracket. The average swell height is still 3-4ft (1.1m), but the period lengthens to 10.5s, adding noticeably more power and organization to the lines.
The swell mix is still transitional: N/NNW/NNE energy remains prominent, but SSW/SW swell accounts for roughly 27 percent of the total wave energy. Most waves are in the 2-5ft (0.5-1.5m) range, with a little 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) juice appearing on the better pulses. Rainfall drops to an annual low of 0.55mm/day, air temps average 26.1°C and the water has eased to 26.4°C. This is reliable, clean surf - just keep an eye on the stronger afternoon trade gusts.
