February: The Direct Swell Window Opens Slightly
February delivers similar stats: 8ft (2.5m) average swell, 11.1s period, and 35 percent ideal wind. The SSW direction remains the primary producer at 19.8%, while SW adds 11.9% and S another 10.5%. The favorable ESE swell direction ticks up to 5.2% and E to 2.2%, giving the region a little more direct east-angled energy than January. The catch is that the wind regime remains locked in the onshore E/ENE pattern - E 15.7%, ENE 11.2%, and ESE 9.9% - which can chop up the face. The bright side is that WSW (15.7%) and W (8.9%) are still strong, so there are windows of clean offshore conditions. Water temp eases slightly to 19.1°C, air temp averages 21.8°C, and precipitation reaches 1.58mm/day.
