February: Summer Swell With Extra Punch
February is statistically the cleanest month of the year with 47% ideal surfing conditions. Average swell remains 1.4m (4.6ft), but the period ticks up to 11.5s, giving a bit more push. SW swell again dominates at 50.9%, with SSW adding 22.7%, meaning most waves are generated by Southern Ocean storms feeding old groundswell into the bay. Size distribution shows the core of the swell arriving in the 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) class, while a significant portion reaches 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m). The wind picture is perfect for grooming: SSW at 11.4%, SW at 11.0% and S at 10.9% are the leading offshore directions, with only around 8% from the onshore N/NW quadrant. Water temperature climbs to 19.2°C, so expect long, warm, clean sessions.
