Conditions at Taito in February
February: NE/ENE Groundswell at Its Peak
February remains deep in winter, and Taito sees one of the most directionally favourable swell windows of the year. Average height sits at 1.2m (4ft), period 9.3s, and a full 56% of the swell comes from the preferred NNO-NO-ONO-O range. NE and ENE combine for just under 40% of all waves, with a real share of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) and 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) energy from those directions. If the wind cooperates, this is peak-season surf. Unfortunately, the continental monsoon is hard to dodge: NNW wind is still common (21.4%), and onshore NNE/NE flow totals around 32%. Ideal offshore wind is limited to about 18-21% of the time, which makes those W/SW days very valuable. Cold air (8.6°C), water temps at 15.5°C, and similar dry winter precipitation around 2.39 mm/day keep the crowds thin; the surfer who plays the wind windows gets the reward.
