February: Persistent Trades vs. the Occasional Front
February looks very similar to January in the raw statistics. Average swell height is still 1.5ft (0.5m), the period drops slightly to 4.5 seconds, and ENE remains the dominant swell direction at 32%. NE/E also chip in, leaving N/NNW energy at a combined total near 23%. Of that favourable window, the majority is under 1.6ft (0.5m), although there are small contributions in the 1.6-3.3ft (0.5-1m) range from NNW and N. The best longer-period, more powerful pulses are missing - this is all sub-5-second windswell.
The trade winds blow hard from the ENE/E quadrant around 42% of the time, which keeps surfaces lumpy. Offshore S/SW flow is present just 7% of the time, so finding a clean, lined-up swell is a serious challenge. Water temperature sits at 24°C (75°F), air at 24°C (75°F), and rainfall stays modest. If you live for quality, February will leave you frustrated; if you can make do with 1-3ft (0.3-0.9m) windswell on a longboard, there are occasional salvable sessions.
