Early to mid February works for me too. However, we'll have to keep our fingers crossed that Feb. 2010 is better than Feb. 2009....I remember it being a month of mostly rain (no good for local shore diving).
Not that we don't desperately need the rainfall to help with the drought, but that was hardly a normal occurrence. It IS the "rainy season", whatever that means here, but the odds are still in our favor, I'd think.
