Conditions at Yumuri in February
February: Steady as She Goes
February is nearly a carbon copy of January from a wave-height perspective, still holding average surf at 3.5ft (1.1m) and a period of 6.2s. The swell window remains locked on the ENE, making up 66% of all readings, with the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) and 3-5ft (1-1.5m) bands accounting for most of the action. Stronger pulses are present too, with over 13% of the month seeing 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) ENE swell. The trade winds are just as locked in: ENE winds blow 38% of the time, and 16.5% of all observations are in the 30-40kph range. That keeps the surface bumpy, especially with the beach facing north into an east-sourced wind. Good news arrives with an ideal wind frequency of 9%, the best of the winter months, meaning a few more clean windows when the surf is rideable. The water cools slightly to 25.8°C, air temperatures stay around 24.8°C, and February is the driest month of the year at just 0.95mm/day of rain.
