Conditions at Dee Why Point in February

February: Late-Summer Pulses and Onshore Winds

February remains locked in a similar summer pattern to January, with the average swell height nudging up to 5-6ft (1.7m) and the average period stretching slightly to 8.8s. The E, ESE and ENE swells still fill most of the spectrum, but there is a clear increase in SE and SSE energy compared with January. While that more easterly window is favorable on paper, the NE and ENE winds again combine for more than 24% of the wind field, and the ideal wind percentage remains stuck at just 15%. The longer average period does hint at occasional pulses from lows in the Coral Sea or northern Tasman, but those are the exceptions rather than the rule.

With rain averaging 4.36 mm/day, air temperatures around 22.6°C and water at 23.1°C, February is warm, wet and typically onshore. Early sessions and the occasional ex-tropical cyclone groundswell are the best bets, but consistent groomed waves remain hard to find.
