Conditions at Yin Yang in February
February: Same Swell, Same Onshore Headwind
February looks a lot like January, but a little smaller. The average swell height drops to 1.0m (3.3ft), the period shortens to 6.2s, and clean surf is limited to just 21% of the time. The good news is that E and ENE swells combine for 56.5% of the direction spectrum, with another 17.6% from the ESE and 9.1% from the SE. That is a very generous directional window for Yin Yang. The bad news is the wind continues to blow from NE (27.5%), NNE (23.2%) and ENE (17.3%), creating exactly the side-onshore and onshore angles that wreck the reef surface. Occasional NW/NNW pulses bring short periods of offshore clarity, and those windows offer the best chance of scoring clean, fast little waves on the east-facing reefs.
