Conditions at Virac Harbour in February
February: More of the Same, Slightly Lighter
February is January's close cousin. Average swell dips only slightly to 1.0m (3.3ft), the period holds at 8.2s, and ENE swell actually tightens its grip to 65.6% of all observations. NE contributes 17.4% and E 15.9%, with the bulk of the height in the 0.5-1m (1.5-3ft) and 1-1.5m (3-5ft) classes. Once again, the predominant northeast monsoon windswell is not the S/SW/SSW/WSW fetch that would light up Virac Harbour properly.
The wind rose is dominated by ENE at 36.4%, NE at 32.7%, and E at 13.8%, which keeps the surface lumpy and cross-shore for most of the month. Ideal wind drops to 19%. The best days occur when a strong cold surge out of Siberia pushes a NW/NNW flow through the islands, cleaning up the surface and adding a bit of push to the more southerly lines. Rain is a little lower at 8.12 mm/day, air temp is 25.9C, and water temperature is 27.2C.
