Conditions at Manangat in February
February: Same Season, Slightly Smaller
February carries on the northeast monsoon but with a touch less energy than January. Average wave height eases to around 3ft (0.9m), and the average period drops to 7.2s, which makes for more windswell-like, punchy surf. The swell rose is still dominated by NNE at 36.3 percent, N at 33.4 percent and NNW at 24.3 percent, with the bulk of the energy in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) and 3-5ft (1-1.5m) ranges.
Offshore wind remains the headline. NNE, NE and ENE combine for about 41 percent of the wind observations, and ideal surfing wind blows 34 percent of the time. The air is a little warmer at 24.7°C, rainfall stays low at 0.66mm per day, and the water holds at 25.8°C.
February is a solid follow-up month, though the slightly shorter period and smaller swell mean the wave quality depends more on finding the sandbars and avoiding the mid-morning sea breeze. Expect clean, fun-sized surf rather than heavy barrels.
