February: Westerly Energy and Rainy-Season Lulls
February keeps the winter train rolling with an average swell height of 0.9m (3ft) and a 12.1s period. The swell rose is again centered on W at 41.9% and WSW at 37.7%, while SW contributes 13.7%. There is slightly more 1-1.5m (3-5ft) energy than January, especially from the WSW and SW sectors, so the better windows can deliver genuinely fun, rippable waves.
Ideal offshore wind drops a bit to 33%, and the wind field becomes more westerly, with W and WNW winds taking up a larger share. February is also the wettest month, with average precipitation of 3.03 mm/day, so expect storms, clouds and occasional runoff. Water temperature remains a cool 14.2C and air temperature averages 14.3C. When high pressure clears the sky after a front, the WSW groundswell cleans up into well-ordered winter surf.
