February: Longer Periods Meet Light Trade Winds
February stays firmly in the dry season with average swell height steady at 1.0m (3ft) and the average period climbing to 12.9s - a sign that the Pacific is sending more organized groundswell. The SSW direction accounts for 70.8% of the energy, with SW adding another 27.0%. Waves in the 0.5-1.5m (2-5ft) range dominate, and the slight increase in 1-1.5m (3-5ft) peaks makes sessions feel more cohesive.
Ideal winds remain at 28%, with the NE trade breezes freshening in the mornings. Onshore SW/WSW winds still dominate the afternoons, but they are light and rarely destroy the surface entirely. Rainfall drops to a yearly low of 0.86mm/day, and water temperature sits at a warm 28.5°C. It is a great month to score fun, long-period waves on a clean, sunny lineup.
