Conditions at Hanalei Bay in February
February: Same Storm Track, Still Firing
February remains locked in the winter pattern. Average swells hold at 8-9ft (2.4-2.7m) with a 12.5s period, and the direction mix is nearly identical to January: NNW 14.4%, NW 10.9%, NNE 7.6% and N 4.4%. That is a relentless conveyor belt of north groundswell. The days are slowly lengthening, but the North Pacific has not yet let go.
Trade winds continue to blow strong; the E and ENE sectors total about 41%. Ideal wind percentage is still a respectable 35%, and when the wind drops to the southeast or south through the day, Hanalei serves up classic long-period waves. Rainfall rises slightly to 2.5mm per day, so be mindful of the river output and allow the tide to push fresh, clear water. Water temperature cools to 23.6°C (74.5°F), with air temps near 22°C (72°F).
