Conditions at Mavericks in February
February: Mid-Winter Monsters and Testy Winds
February is still prime big-wave country at Mavericks. The average swell holds at 6ft (1.9m) and the period remains a powerful 12.9s, meaning the reef is still seeing serious, organized groundswell. W and WNW swells combine for 70% of observations, while WSW adds about 8%, keeping some of the westerly juice that lines up perfectly on the southwest-facing reef. The main issue is the wind: ideal conditions only 39% of the time, thanks to a strong NW/NNW wind flow that accounts for over 35% of the records. Air temperature averages 11.2°C, water temperature 11.8°C, and 3.46 mm/day of rain reminds you that the North Pacific is still active.
