February: The Period Builds
A subtle shift begins in February. Average heights edge up to 1.3m (4ft) and the period lengthens to 12.7s, adding punch to the SSW swell that now dominates 37% of the spectrum. Combined with S (15%) and SW (16%), favorable south quadrant energy makes up about two-thirds of all waves. The wind still favors the northern quadrant, with NNW and NW light flows, and ideal conditions prevail 53% of the time. Air temps remain near 28°C, water sits at 27°C, and rainfall is minimal. It's a transition month: not yet pumping, but the southern ocean is starting to wake up and the better SSW sets are noticeably more powerful.
