Conditions at Cottosloe in February
February: Summer Still - Similar Swell, Slightly Better Winds
February nudges the ideal-wind score up to 29%, and the average swell stays solid at 1.8m (5.9ft) with a period of 11.8s. The SW quadrant remains dominant (44.9% SW, 33.3% SSW), but there is a touch more movement from the ESE (13.6%) and E (12.3%) in the wind distribution. That offshore push from the east is your ticket to clean conditions, especially through the morning hours. When the seabreeze fills in, it again swings to the S/SSW, creating bumpy surface conditions. The water temp climbs to 22.3°C, making it the warmest month of the year. While not the best month for quality surf, consistent SSW/SW energy and a chance of offshore easterlies keep the potential alive.
