February: Consistent South-Southwest Swell With Cool, Clean Water
February sees the swell window tighten toward the south and southwest. SSW and SW energy combine for over 55% of the total, and along with WSW and W they account for 93.7% of all wave directions. The dominant height remains 0.5-1m (1.5-3.3ft), while 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) waves become slightly more frequent than in January, especially from W and WSW. The average period climbs to 12.7s, enhancing the punch of these mid-latitude groundswells even when the average height stays at 0.8m (2.6ft).
The wind regime is still strongly from the northwest quadrant, with NW at 29.1%, NNW at 19.0%, WNW at 19.1% and W at 9.6%, but the percentage of truly ideal surfing conditions drops to 38% as the flow becomes a bit more moderate and variable. Air temperatures remain mild at 21.4°C, water cools slightly to 22.3°C, and February stays dry with just 0.44 mm/day of rain. Expect similar, dependable surf to January: clean, long-period and small-to-fun, with the swell window holding steady.
