Conditions at Puri in February
February: More South Swell, More Onshore Wind
February is a transition toward pre-monsoon instability. The average swell height increases slightly to 0.7m (2-3ft), and the wave period stays long at 10.5s. S swell dominates hard with 47.6 percent of the distribution, while SSE adds 25.1 percent and SSW 12.4 percent, so the swell window remains favorable. The problem is wind. Ideal N/NNE/NW/NNW wind drops to 14 percent, while SSW flow jumps to 26 percent and SW to 16.3 percent, putting the beach under a persistent onshore/cross-onshore breeze. Expect surface chop and occasional drift, with the best conditions coming early in the day before the sea breeze builds. The water is comfortable at 25.4°C and the dry, warming air averages 24.6°C.
