Conditions at Parking Lots in February
February: Late-Storm Gold and Trade-Wind Static
February keeps the winter momentum going, with average surf at 5ft (1.5m) and a 9.8s period. Another 33 percent of the month sits in the ideal wind category, and the favorable N/NNE/NNW swell sources hold at roughly 33 percent of the total. The rest is the usual NE/ENE trade-wind sea that dominates 58 percent of the wave spectrum. As high-latitude cyclones continue to spin across the Atlantic, any strong NW/NNW groundswell can wrap nicely into the north-facing beach and produce steep, rideable walls.
The trade-wind regime remains committed to ENE/E/NE winds just under two-thirds of the time, which keeps surface texture high. But when the pressure gradient relaxes and wind turns light S/SSW, the offshore conditions turn those late-winter swells into the standout sessions of the season. Water temperature slips slightly to 26.3°C (79.3°F) while air temps hover near 25.6°C (78.1°F), with moderate rainfall at 1.41 mm/day.
