Conditions at Shivas in February
February: Punchy Swell with a Slightly Falling Wind Share
February is a near-twin of January, with the average swell nosing up to 0.9m (3ft) and the average period easing back slightly to 8.9s. The directional spread becomes a little more focused on the west: WSW picks up 11.8% and W jumps to 16.0%, while WNW (25.3%) and NW (33.7%) still dominate the wave rose. On the best days, the W/WSW component lines up directly with the beach's southwest exposure and produces clean, punchy 2-3ft waves. Ideal surfing remains high at 57%, though the wind rose is starting to show more NNW flow and slightly stronger W-wind events. Water temperature inches up to 28.4°C, air temperature averages 26.4°C, and precipitation is negligible at 0.07 mm/day, so the main limiting factor is finding hours when the offshore NE/ENE breeze, rather than the NNW drift, is in control.
