February: Warm Water and Small Lines
February is the warmest-water month of the year at 21.8°C, but the surf remains on the small side. The average swell height is 3.3ft (1.0m) and the period has ticked up slightly to 12.1s. SSW continues to dominate at 93.8%, with 52.8% of the swell in the 1.6-3.3ft (0.5-1m) range and 41.0% in the 3.3-4.9ft (1-1.5m) range. The directional purity is excellent, and with wind ideal 75% of the time, the consistent S/SSW flow (S 41.2%, SSW 21.8%, SSE 19.8%) keeps the lefts organized.
The air is warm at 22.9°C and rain is still scarce at 0.89mm/day. February is a classic small-but-perfect month; the sand and reef banks will be the deciding factor more than the ocean.
