February: Peak Season Heats Up
February offers more of the same high-quality dry season surf, with a slightly more powerful average period of 12.9s. Swell remains glued to the SSW compass, with 89.3% of all waves arriving from that direction and 83.6% in the 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) band. The average height is still a modest 0.7m (2.3ft), but the long-period nature brings a lot of push for its size. Wind patterns continue to favor the offshore quadrant, with NNE at 37.8% and NE at 23.2% - these are the ideal directions that groom the southwest-facing break into clean, rippable lines. Wind speeds are slightly stronger than January, with 15.7% of NNE readings in the 20-30kph range. Ideal wind occurs 47% of the time, so expect some windows of bump, but the good days are exceptional. Water temp eases to 28.1°C, while air temps climb as high as 33.2°C. With only 0.43 mm/day of rain, February tends to be the driest month - prime for dawn patrols.
