February: Chasing Consistency in the Monsoon
February is a repeat of January's meteorological script, but with a slight increase in average swell height to 2.3ft (0.7m) and period holding at 8.5s. The wind field is dominated by a strong NNE lobe (16.2 percent) and the NNW/NW/WNW offshore cluster (40 percent combined), keeping the ideal wind percentage at a low 16 percent. The swell window from NE-ESE widens to about 33 percent, led again by ESE (17.2 percent) and E (10.2 percent). However, most of this is still 2-3ft (0.5-1m), and the south/southeast component (SE, SSE, S combined) grows to 32.8 percent, adding more side-shore energy. The SE and SSE swells are not ideal for Ikumi's east-facing orientation, so most days will be mediocre. Water temperature drops to 15.6°C, while air sits at 8.9°C and precipitation rises slightly to 3.15 mm/day - expect variable, cool conditions.
