Conditions at Bondi in February
February: East Coast Energy With a Summer Sting
February keeps the summer pattern in place, though there's a touch more power in the water. Average swell height ticks up to 5-6ft (1.7m) and the period lengthens to 8.8s. SE and ESE swells dominate, with E and SSE also sharing the load; together these directions feed Bondi's SSE-facing beach a mix of trade-wind swell and occasional Tasman low energy. The wind forecast is the weak link: onshore S/SSE/SE/ESE winds remain stubborn at just over 41 percent combined, while offshore N/NW quadrant flow only reaches 11 percent. The ideal-wind percentage is 26 percent, meaning most days are still a morning-only proposition. Air temperatures average 22.6°C and water temps peak for summer at 23.1°C, so it's warm and inviting. February is also the wettest month on average with 4.4mm/day, often from stalled troughs near the coast. When the seabreeze holds off, Bondi can offer clean 3-5ft (1-1.5m) peaks on the S/SE swell, but don't expect epic consistency.
