Conditions at Ninjas/Piddlies in February

February: Trapped in the Trade Winds

February is a slightly cooler, drier version of January. The monsoon is still in place and ENE/E swell remains the dominant signal - ENE at 53%, E at 20.5%, plus another 8.1% from ESE/SE - but the wind is locked in from the NE/ENE, with a combined 61.1% of observations in those two directions. The average wave height dips to 0.9m (3ft) and the period remains short at 6.7s, so waves lack the push needed to overcome the onshore texture. Ideal wind is up just 10%. Most energy is in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) class, with 22.8% of ENE swell reaching 1-1.5m (3-5ft). If a W/NW offshore breeze can align with one of those ENE pulses, the break can clean up for a few fun, groveling waves. Air temperature averages 27.4°C, rainfall is only 1.04mm/day, and water temperature warms to 28.8°C, but the wind keeps the crowd count low.
