February: The Offshore Clock Ticks a Little Higher
February bumps the average swell height to 1.5m (4.9ft) while the period remains a solid 13.1s. The swell window is even more concentrated, with SSW delivering 77% of the energy and SW another 22%. This month produces fun, rippable 3-6ft (1-1.8m) surf, and a healthy chunk of waves are pushing into the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range.
Ideal offshore wind clocks in at 5%, the second-highest of the year. Still, S, SSW and SW winds dominate about 75% of the month, with the SW flow regularly reaching 10-20kph. The rare N/NNO/NO/ONO days will be excellent; the rest of the time it is a battle against a textured surface.
Air temperatures peak near 27.6°C and water temperature rises to 19.8°C, making February one of the most pleasant months in the water even when the wind is less than cooperating.
