Conditions at Kapu Beach in February
February: NW Groundswell and Clean Edges
February remains a solid winter month, though the offshore wind percentage drops slightly to 37 percent. The swell mix shifts a little more toward the northwest: WNW is responsible for 29.4 percent of the wave energy and NW for 25.7 percent, with W adding another 19.6 percent. Average height is a touch bigger than January at 2-3ft (0.8m), and there are a few more 3-5ft (1-1.5m) class sets, especially from the NW. The 9.1s average period keeps things in the average/punchy zone, so expect racy takeoffs and workable shoulders rather than dead-serious hollow waves.
Winds remain mostly light, with NNW breezes and W/NW afternoon sea-breeze pulses the main issues. When the morning offshore regime aligns, Kapu offers clean, small-to-middling surf. Dry and warm, with water temperatures near 28.8°C and very little rain, February is another easy month to score a fun session.
