Conditions at Haleiwa in February
February: Still Heavy and Consistent
February is a continuation of January's high-octane pattern. Average swells remain at 8.5ft (2.6m), periods are still an impressive 12.4s, and the NNW and NW directions continue to feed the outer reefs. There is more NNE/NE mix in the water than January, but the dominant energy still comes from the northwest window, with NNW at 14.3%, NW at 8.5%, and N at 4.2%. This combination produces powerful, long-period swells that wrap well into Haleiwa.
Ideal offshore winds from the SW/SSW/S quadrant are present 38% of the time, usually during post-frontal Kona conditions. The ENE trades are still the default setup though, and they can arrive in the 20-30kph range and create bumpy surface conditions. Water temperature is 24.1°C, average air temperature is 22.6°C, and February is one of the wetter months with 2.26mm/day of rain. Expect the North Shore to be very much alive.
