Conditions at Tiruchendur in February
February: Longer Periods, Still Cross-Shore
February brings a subtle shift for the better. The average period jumps to 9.2s and the swell mix becomes more favorably distributed, with ENE (30%), E (27%), ESE (14%) and SSE (10%) combining to feed the SE-facing beach. Wave heights remain modest, averaging 0.9m (3ft), with the vast majority in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) category and a few 3-5ft (1-1.5m) sets. The wind, however, is still dominated by NE (33%) and ENE (23%), so most of the surf will be wind-affected and slightly lumpy. The ideal offshore window from W/WNW/NW/NNW is up to 11 percent of the time, meaning the occasional morning glass-off is possible. When the E/ESE groundswell lines line up with those light land breezes, expect punchy, fun-sized lefts and rights. Water temperature climbs to 28°C and rainfall remains minimal.
