February: More Offshore Windows, Same High-Quality Swell
February brings a noticeable improvement in conditions. The average swell nudges up to about 5ft (1.5m) with a 13.1s period, and the ideal wind percentage doubles to 12%, the second-best month of the year. The swell direction remains SSW-heavy at 77%, but the SW share is still healthy at 22%, and there is a large amount of 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) energy, with 32% of all readings falling in that range in the SSW bin alone. The presence of 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) swell, though small, hints at occasional heavier sets. Wind-wise, the S/SSW/SW complex still dominates, but the increase in light easterly tendencies and the slightly weaker southerly push mean more clean sessions. With air temperatures averaging 21.4°C and water at 19.8°C, the warmest of the year, February is a prime month to be in the water.
