Conditions at Kate's in February
February: Still Stuck in the Monsoon Trough
February offers a slight improvement over January: the ideal wind percentage ticks up to 20%, and the share of E/ESE/SE/SSE swell grows to nearly half at 47.2%. ENE still leads the pack at 43.0%, with E at 28.6% and ESE at 13.3%. However, NE (34.6%) and ENE (26.3%) winds still dominate, keeping most of the month onshore and bumpy. With an average period of 7.4s and a 1.0m (3-4ft) average height, you get short-period, punchy waves that need a wind shift to become fun. If a WNW or NNW breeze aligns with the easterly swell, Kate's can clean up quickly, but these windows are rare. Water temperatures stay warm at 28.6°C, air around 27.4°C, and precipitation is only 1.14mm/day, making it a dry month even if the surf is not cooperating.
