Conditions at Kealia Beach in February
February: Big Swell, Building Trades
February keeps the wintry momentum going with an average swell height of 7.5ft (2.3m) and a long-period 12.0s average. The mix is like January's: NNW swells dominate (19.4%), but there is a strong NE/ENE component totaling over 21%, meaning the optimal east-side window is far from empty. These are punchy, powerful waves that can hold up well even with some wind.
The main downside is that ideal offshore winds slip to 19%, while ENE trades (22.7%) and E trades (17.6%) become a bit more aggressive than in January. The swell can be firing, but it is often lumpy and onshore. When a cold front approaches and winds swing into the west or northwest, the quality turns on. Air temps sit at 22.4°C, water at 23.6°C, and precipitation increases to 2.54mm/day, typical of the wet season. If you time the windows, February is one of the most powerful months at Kealia.
