Conditions at Mabuntok in February
February: Still Big, Still Windy
February remains in the heart of the Amihan. The average swell height eases only slightly to 4ft (1.2m) and the period stays at 9.2s. ENE jumps to 72.3 percent of all swell presence, with NE adding 23.6 percent; almost no energy arrives from outside the optimal window. On paper this is ideal swell direction, but the wind distribution mirrors the waves: ENE (32.0 percent) and NE (24.4 percent) are the dominant wind directions, meaning the wave faces are almost always blown out. Ideal offshore flow from S/SSW/SW/WSW remains rare at 5 percent. The saving grace is the consistency and reliability of the windswell; when a brief wind shift or local land breeze sets in, 3-4ft (1-1.2m) shoulders can be genuinely fun. The 26.5°C air and 27.5°C water keep the tropics comfortable, while 13.1 mm/day of rain keeps the setup humid.
