February: Punchy ENE Swell Still Faces the Trade Wind Chop
February is a very similar script to January, with an average swell of 1.7m (5.5ft) and an average period of 9.2s. ENE swell dominance increases to 73.1% and NE contributes another 17.8%, so the beach is rarely flat. The bulk of the energy sits in the 1-2m (3-6.5ft) range, with a healthy 9.0% pushing into the 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) category. However, the wind remains locked in from the NE/ENE sector: NE 36.2%, ENE 33.2%, and NNE 13.0%. Only 2% of the time does the wind go offshore, so most sessions are a battle against windblown surface conditions.
The weather remains wet and warm - average air 26.6°C, sea surface 27.3°C and 10.39mm/day rain. If you score a rare SW/W wind shift, the punchy ENE swell can suddenly turn on, but expectations should remain low.
