February: Deep Winter Mix of Groundswell and Trade Chop
February remains deep in the North Pacific swell season. The average swell is another solid 6ft (1.9m) and the period averages a powerful 12.2s. NNW swell still leads the pack at 28.7%, and when N and NW are added, the optimal north quadrant accounts for over 40% of the month's swell energy. The nearshore spectrum is a little more mixed than January, with NNE at 16.4%, NE at 15.2%, and ENE at 12.2% adding plenty of trade-wind swell into the mix.
Trade winds are still the main obstacle. ENE wind appears in 39.8% of observations and NE in another 14.9%, while southwest quadrant wind is only about 13%. Ideal wind registers at 26%. Still, the bigger NNW swells come from strong Aleutian storms and often arrive with post-frontal west or southwest winds. On those days, Honolua can be excellent. Water temperature is 24.0°C, air temperature averages 22.9°C, and precipitation is 2.10 mm/day.
