February: More of the Same Onshore Grind
February replicates the summer pattern with only 14% ideal wind and a swell distribution still favoring SW (29%) and SSW (24%) at 11.3s. Average heights hold at 7ft (2.1m), so there is no shortage of power, but the onshore ESE and SE winds (together 39%) continuously texture the surface. The ocean is a lively, bumpy arena - perfect for bodyboarding, frustrating for critical surfing. Occasional lighter wind days, especially around the new moon, can produce clean, long-period S swell before the Cape Doctor reasserts itself. With air temps peaking near 30°C and water still 18.3°C, it is a warm, moody summer month for those willing to hunt for windows.
