Conditions at Margaret River in February
February: Still Summer, but the Swell Holds Its Ground
A near-identical pattern to January continues through February, with the average swell height easing slightly to 1.8m (5.9ft) and period holding at 11.9s. The wave rose remains dominated by SSW and SW swells, which combine for just over 67% of the total energy. The good news is that there is still plenty of 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) swell rolling in from the southwest, so the exposed reefs and points are far from flat. The main limitation remains wind: SSE and S winds dominate at 25.8% and 17.0%, respectively, and the sea breeze can make conditions blustery by midday. You'll find the best conditions in the early morning, when E/ESE offshore winds are most common, before the wind shifts around to the south. Water temp climbs to 20.9°C, air temps are similar at 20.7°C, and the occasional summer storm in the southern Indian Ocean can still throw a long-period gift at the coast.
