Conditions at Cauit Point in February
February: Consistent NE Swell, Onshore Wind Woes
February remains firmly in the Amihan season. Average swell is 1.2m (4ft) with a period of 9.2s, and an astonishing 96% of wave energy arrives from ENE/NE, with ENE alone contributing over 72%. The trade wind machine is still blowing hard from the NNE/NE/ENE compass, but ideal offshore wind drops to just 8% - the lowest of the year. Expect plenty of size but frequent onshore north and northeast winds. The saving grace is the consistency and the solid period; when the wind does ease or swing offshore, the ENE swell lines wrap nicely around the point and produce clean, long-period walls. Air temperatures average 26.5°C, water temps are 27.4°C, and precipitation remains significant at 13.1 mm/day.
