February: Strong Swell, Still Winter
February keeps the winter momentum going. Average wave heights hold at 5ft (1.5m) and periods dip just slightly to 9.8 seconds. The NE/ENE swells are the main players, but the N and NNE swells together make up a big chunk of the mix, sending dependable energy straight into the beach. Winds are still trade-dominated, with ENE winds blowing 33% of the time, so clean sessions depend on the wind flip-flopping to the south. With ideal wind only 44% of the time, stay ready to move when a front passes. Water temperature eases to 26.3°C and rainfall is low at 1.41mm/day, making it one of the drier winter months.
