Conditions at Banzai in February
February: Winter's Consistent NE Window
February holds onto the winter recipe: 3ft (0.9m) average wave height, 5.0s average period, and 21% ideal wind. The swell rose is loaded in the right places - SW 13.2%, WSW 11.8%, SSE 9.4%, S 9.4%, SSW 8.8% - so there is no shortage of southwesterly energy hitting the beach. The wind pattern is even better than January in some ways, with NNE at 13.9% and NE at 11.4%; a strong NE Grecale event can transform Banzai into punchy, rideable peaks. The onshore SW/WSW wind sector is considerably weaker, which means the quality windows are longer. Water temp cools to 12.7°C, air temp averages 9.9°C, and precipitation increases slightly to 2.23mm/day. February is often overlooked, but it regularly delivers some of the cleanest midwinter surf of the year.
