February: Steady North Atlantic Consistency
February holds the strong winter pattern with an average 5ft (1.6m) swell and a 9.3s period. ENE still dominates the rose at 39.1%, but the north swells that matter are well represented: NNE at 13.7%, NE at 21.7%, N at 3.9% and NNW at 2.5% combine for about 42% of the total energy. The result is consistent, punchy waves in the 3-6.5ft (1-2m) range, with the biggest and cleanest sets arriving from the NNE/NE quadrant. February is often drier as well, with average precipitation dropping to 1.09 mm/day and air temperatures around 24.6°C; water temperature is 26.1°C.
The trade-wind machinery remains active, with E and ESE winds totaling over 55% of observations and frequent 20-30kph gusts. Ideal wind sits at 26%, the lowest of the year, so this is a month for picking windows. The window opens when the trades let go or the wind fades overnight, leaving semi-glassy conditions for the first hours of daylight.
