Conditions at Golf Course Reef in February
February: Still Waiting for the Autumn Flip
February remains trapped in the same summer pattern. The average swell is 6ft (1.8m), period is 8.4s and ideal wind is just 28%. The E/NE quadrant still supplies the best swell angles - NE, ENE, E and ESE combine for roughly half the wave energy - but onshore NE/ENE winds remain frequent. Ideal offshore SW/W flow accounts for only about 7% of the time, so quality is again limited by wind-affected surfaces.
Rainfall increases to 4.32 mm/day, the wettest month of the year. Air and water temperatures stay warm at 21.7°C and 21.8°C. February can produce a tropical cyclone swell, but the reef will only be good if the wind aligns properly. It is quantity over quality.
