Conditions at Lennox Head in February
February: Warm Water, Solid East Swell, Sticky Onshore Wind
February is the hottest month of the year-air temp 25.0°C, water temp peaking at 25.4°C and 5.66 mm/day of rain. Swell averages 1.7m (5.5ft) with a slightly more powerful 8.9s period. The direction mix is squarely in the optimal quadrant: E (28.9%), ESE (23.0%) and SE (18.2%) dominate; a decent chunk is in the 1.5-2.5m range, so size is not the issue. The issue is wind. Ideal conditions fall to 26%, and the dominant NNE (8.5%), SSE (14.8%), SE (12.8%) and NE (7.5%) pattern keeps onshore texture on the surface. Dawn patrols are the play-when a SW/W wind kicks in after a front, Lennox can turn the average summer slop into clean, punchy 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) waves.
