February: Similar Swell, Slightly Better Wind
February plays a similar hand to January. The average wave height eases a notch to 1.8m (5.9ft), while the average period remains at 11.9s. Swell direction is still overwhelmingly favorable: SW 33.9%, SSW 33.1% and WSW 5.0% combine for around 72% of the wave energy coming from the prime window. The height distribution is concentrated in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range, so Gas Bay will see plenty of head-high to overhead-plus sets, especially when a Southern Ocean low sends a clean SW pulse. Wind becomes just a little more favorable, with ideal offshore conditions increasing to 16% of the time. Still, SSE (25.8%), SE (18.1%) and S (17.0%) dominate, so the default summer seabreeze kicks up most afternoons. Water temperature peaks near 20.9°C and rain is scarce at 0.45mm/day, making February a dry, warm month that rewards early sessions before the wind swings onshore.
