Conditions at Cronulla in February
February: Late Summer East Swell Pulse
February remains locked in the summer pattern, with average swell heights around 5-6ft (1.7m) and the average period creeping up slightly to 8.8 seconds. ENE, E and ESE swells are well represented, while SE and SSE energy also builds, reflecting the first stronger pulses from the Southern Ocean. The most frequent wave heights remain in the 1-2m range, so Cronulla sees plenty of fun-size to solid peaks.
Wind quality is still a struggle, with ideal offshore flow only 13% of the time. The NE sea breeze sets in almost daily, and NNE/NE winds together make up over a quarter of the observations. There are more south-southeast and south winds than January, which means more afternoon southerly blasts and occasional dramatic improvements on the east-facing banks. Air temps hold at a warm 22.6°C, water temp is 22.8°C, and rainfall is a bit higher at 4.36 mm/day, so expect sticky conditions between fronts.
