February: More of the Same, With a Slightly Brighter Wind Window
February is virtually a carbon copy of January on the surface: average swell height 7-8ft (2.3m), period 11.9s, and a swell spectrum that is again dominated by SW (37.1%), with SSW (12.6%) and WSW (8.4%) filling out the southwesterly envelope. There is a little more ESE/SE background energy than mid-summer, but the primary window is the same: waves mostly between 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft), clean lines and plenty of water moving if you connect with the right set.
The wind outlook improves marginally - ideal surfing conditions rise to 25% - and the N/NE offshore quadrant still sits at a small 12% share of the wind rose. The saving grace is that the seabreeze is slightly less aggressive, with a touch more SE/SSE flow, leaving the beach a bit less ragged in the afternoon. Water temp rises to 18.3°C, average air temp is 17.1°C with highs near 30°C, and precipitation is low at 1.43 mm/day. It is a fun, warm month; just do not sleep through the early glass.
