February: More Offshore Windows
February stays firmly in the summertime pattern, but the wind is slightly friendlier with ideal surfing conditions up to 40%. Average swell remains 1.4m (4-5ft) and period ticks up just a touch to 8.3s. The E/ESE quadrant again supplies most of the wave energy, with ESE at 22%, E at 21.5%, SE at 16.7%, and ENE at 17.5%; southern hemi groundswells remain a minor player as S only delivers 7.2% and SSW under 1%. The NE trade flow still dominates the wind rose at 16.3% and ENE at 13%, but NNW and NW offshore flow combine near 10%, explaining the modest improvement in clean-surf percentages. These are the months of fun-sized summer waves: mostly 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m), punchy and rippable, with occasional 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) sets. Morning glass-offs ahead of the sea breeze are your best shot. Water temperature bumps to 23.8°C, air averages 22.6°C, and rain remains frequent at 5.01mm/day.
