February: Long-Period Groundswell and Offshore Flow
February keeps the dry-season formula intact, but the period bumps to 12.8s and the distribution shifts slightly fatter. Average height is again 3ft (1.0m), with more of the SSW/S/SW window in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) category - roughly 43 percent compared to 28 percent in January. SSW leads the way with 55% of total swell, while S adds 28% and SW 8%. The wind story remains favourable, with NNE (25%) and N/NNW/NW components keeping the right side of the wind rose; ideal offshore conditions run 60 percent of the time. Very dry weather and water temperatures near 27.9°C make for excellent point surf, though occasional S/SSW pulses can bring brief onshore periods.
