Conditions at Mahabalipuram Shore Temple in February
February: Small Swell and Onshore Trade Winds
February is a step down in size, with the average swell dropping to about 2.6ft (0.8m). The period improves slightly to 7.7s, but most of the energy shifts into the ESE-SE quadrant, with E and ENE still contributing. Winds remain locked in the onshore easterly half: NE, E, ENE and ESE combine for more than 60% of the time, and only 6% of readings are truly offshore. That keeps Mahabalipuram small, bumpy and hard to read - mostly knee-to-waist-high, with occasional chest-high sets if a cyclone far out in the bay stirs something up. The dry, warm winter weather (air 25.7°C, water 27.3°C) is nice, but for surfers this is grinding season.
