Conditions at Isdhoo in February
February: Pressed Flat Under the Trades
February remains locked in the northeast monsoon. Ideal wind is again only 5%, with NE (31%), NNE (22%) and ENE (19%) combining for more than 70% of all wind observations. These persistent onshore trades generate a lumpy, choppy surface at Isdhoo. Average swell is 3ft (1.0m) with the lowest period of the year, 6.2s, so waves are just average in form and easily torn apart by the wind. The wave rose is spread across E (29%), ENE (27%) and ESE (18%), with a small NE swell component (6%) - the closest thing to useful direction, but almost always overwhelmed by wind. February is drier (2.0mm/day) and very warm (water 28.9°C, air 27.6°C), but for surfers it is a month of blown-out grinders rather than clean Maldivian perfection.
