February: Holding the Summer Pattern
February is very similar to January, with a slight lift in consistency. Ideal surf wind improves to 45%, average swell height is still 4ft (1.2m), and the period remains short at 8.1s. Swell directions stay locked in the favorable E/ESE axis: E 23.5%, ESE 24.5%, ENE 19.6% and SE 18.3%. Waves are again mostly 2-3ft (0.5-1m) and 3-5ft (1-1.5m), with the ESE direction contributing the largest share of 5-6ft (1.5-2m) waves. Water temp climbs to 25.7°C, air averages 23.8°C, and rain drops slightly to 6.30 mm/day.
Wind is dominated by NNE (16.6%) and NE (10.6%), while the offshore W/NW quadrant still accounts for only about 8% of observations. The saving grace is the amount of light wind - nearly every direction has a large share of 0-10kph observations, so the mornings are often clean and the afternoons become onshore and chopped out. February delivers punchy, rideable summer surf, with the occasional better window if a dying frontal system swings winds to the W.
