February: Still Stuck in the Trade Windsea
February is a carbon copy of January in many ways. ENE and NE swells account for 45.8% and 19.7% of the spectrum, with the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class best represented. The average height is again 1.4m (4.6ft), but the period creeps up to 8.9s - still a short-to-average wave that lacks the punch of a true groundswell. The ideal SSW/SW/W windows remain a minor player at under 10%, so don't plan a trip around consistent quality. The wind regime remains strongly offshore from NE/ENE, with 55% and 34.6% respectively, but strong 20-40kph pulses keep the surface lumpy and reduce the ideal surfing time to 25%. Dry weather and 26.0°C water make for comfortable sessions, but the wave quality is more about contesting the bumps than carving high-performance lines.
