Conditions at Antiques in February
February: Peak Offshore Consistency and Long-Period Punch
February is often the cleanest month of the year for Antiques. The favorable wind frequency ticks up to 65 percent-the highest of the year-as a strong north/northwest offshore component continues under the northeast monsoon. The average swell height drops slightly to 3.5-4ft (1.1m), but the period improves to a solid 10.0s, bringing more power and shape to the reef.
Swell direction shifts further into the southeastern quadrant: ESE, SE, SSE and S make up over 70 percent of the wave energy, with most waves falling in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) and 3-5ft (1-1.5m) bands. That adds up to clean, waist-to-chest-high lines that keep the high-performance reefs of Antiques very much alive. With air temperatures around 27.6°C, water at 29.1°C, and only 2.37mm/day of precipitation, February serves up some of the driest, most user-friendly surf of the northeast monsoon season. This is a prime month to score the spot without the crowds of the peak holiday period.
