February: Late Summer's Cleaner Window
February is a slight step up from January at Flowrider. The average period climbs to 9.4s and the average swell holds at 1.6m (5.2ft), but the directional spread is even more focused on the optimal ENE-to-SE band. ESE swell leads at 24.2%, E follows at 23.7%, and SE adds 19.3%, meaning more of the available energy is arriving straight into the beach. The wind distribution is still summer-like, with NE (19.8%) and ENE (14.8%) dominating and onshore ENE/E/ESE/SE winds near 28% overall; ideal westerly offshore flow sits at just 21%. Water temperature rises to 26.0°C, while air temps stay around 24.7°C and precipitation is 2.90mm/day. Expect fun, rippable 3-6ft (1-2m) surf with occasional 2-2.5m (7-8ft) sets from E/ESE, especially when the morning sea breeze is delayed.
