February: Dry-Season Offshore Flow and a Building Southern Pulse
February looks similar to January at first glance - average height 1.1m (3.5ft), period 10.5s, and N/NNE/NNW swells still accounting for around 48% of the wave rose. But the SSW component rises to 17.0%, SW adds 9.7%, and the period now edges into the powerful 10-14s window. The wind remains strongly offshore: N 33.9%, NNE 26.0% and NNW 33.1%, although ideal conditions fall to 51%, likely because the trades blow harder in the 20-40kph range. With only 0.55mm/day of rain, February is one of the driest months; air temps average 26.1°C and water temp dips to 26.4°C. You'll find clean, groomed lines with occasional SSW sets in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, but consistency still favors the longboard.
