February: Peak Size, Blown-Out Potential
February serves up the largest average swell of the year around 4ft (1.2m), with periods stretching to 8.4s. The wave rose is dominated by E (45%) and ESE (26%) swells, with secondary SE energy - all rideable directions, but quality hinges entirely on the wind. Favourable conditions drop to 23%, and the 10-20kt SSE/SE/S flow is frequently too strong for clean surfing. Look for a southerly buster to swing winds into the W/SW quadrant; then the trade-wind bump disappears and the banks light up. Water temperature peaks at 25.9°C and showers remain frequent with 5.7mm/day, so you will be dodging storms as much as flat spells.
