Conditions at Macaronis in February
February: Still Stuck in the Monsoon Trough
February offers more of the same monsoon pattern. Average heights hold at 4.3ft (1.3m), while the period ticks up slightly to 12.5s, still in the powerful long-period range. SSW swell is even more dominant at 51%, with SW at 34% and 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves making up the bulk of the action. There is also a slightly smaller contribution from S (6%) and WSW (8%). Winds remain the limiting factor: NNW/NW/WNW combine for over 53% of all observations, and ideal surfing winds only reach 31%. The surface is often rippled or lumpy, though occasional windows of east-northeast offshore flow can turn the long walls on. Water temperature is a warm 29.2°C, air temperatures average 27.7°C, and precipitation drops slightly to 7.1mm/day, but it is still very wet.
