Conditions at Auroville in February
February: Diminishing Winter Swell
February still has excellent swell direction, but the engine is easing. Average surf height drops to 2.6ft (0.8m), with the period stretching a touch to 7.2s. E and ESE swells are the main players, each around a third of the total, backed by ENE and SE. The modal height is in the 1.6-3.3ft (0.5-1m) class, so expectations should be for small, fun-sized peaks rather than powerful winter waves.
Wind quality, however, takes a step backward. Ideal surfing wind is only 18%, while onshore E/ESE/SE winds combined account for about 36% of the wind distribution. NNE and ENE winds also keep the surface lumpy. Warmer water at 27.5°C and dry conditions at 0.38mm/day make it pleasant, but you will need to pick your moments and likely be happy with groveling 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) beach break waves.
