Conditions at Little Malibu in February
February: Same Rhythm, Slightly Softer Edge
February mirrors January in most ways - average swell height still sits at a healthy 5ft (1.5m) with a wave period of 9.8 seconds, and the ideal offshore wind remains the norm 62% of the time. The swell distribution is almost a dead heat between ENE (29.2%) and NE (29.0%), with a strong NNE backbone at 19.8%, so the island's shadow continues to filter out any meaningful west energy. Wind-wise, ENE dominates the rose at 32.9%, followed by E (17.5%) and NE (14.6%), meaning those mornings are usually glassy and offshore. A touch of extra rainfall (1.41 mm/day) rarely affects the water temp of 26.3°C. The surf is consistently rideable and often falls in the classic chest-to-head-high range, though you'll need to search for the more powerful sandbar peaks when the period dips below 10 seconds.
