February keeps much of the summer south-easter: windy afternoons are still common, typically in the high teens to mid-20s of knots, over flat lagoon water. With the school holidays over, the beach and the water are calmer, and days are usually warm — an excellent month for a longer kite trip without the peak-season rush.
Yes — February is one of the most underrated months: the wind is still strong and frequent, the summer holiday crowds have gone, and the weather is typically warm.
Late summer is generally the warmest time on the lagoon, but the West Coast water is cool all year — a wetsuit is still normal for kiting.
It is a great month for one: consistent wind, quieter beaches and easier availability than December or January. We offer special rates for long stays — see the long-stays page.
