February: Clean Trade Winds, More Southern Push
February bumps the average period to 12.3s and the SSW/SW component becomes a bit more assertive, though the trade-wind regime remains in control. Ideal wind clocks in at 40%, and the NE/ENE offshore flow is reliable enough to keep the west-southwest facing beach clean for most of the month. The swell mix shifts to 56% from the optimal quadrant, with SSW at 19%, SW at 20%, WSW at 10% and W at 7%, while the remaining northerly energy starts to fade. Most days produce fun, rippable 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) waves, and about 16% of observations reach the 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) range. Rain is virtually absent at 0.12mm/day, air temperatures sit at 28.4°C and water temps nudge 28.3°C-clean, warm and steadily surfable.
