Conditions at Caloundra in February
February: The Messiest Month of the Year
February is statistically Caloundra's most inconsistent month for surf quality, with ideal offshore winds only 13% of the time. The swell average is a solid 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) with a period of 8.3s, and the energy is heavily weighted in the E (37%) and ESE (26%) quadrants. Yet the wind rose is brutally onshore: SE (25.2%), ESE (18.3%), SSE (13.2%) and E (8.7%) combine for a relentless trade-wind attack. This is also the wettest month, with 6.57mm/day of rain and water temperature peaking at 26.6°C. When a tropical low tracks down the coast and a west-to-northwest change arrives, the E/ESE swell can turn on briefly, but patience is required.
