February: Tropical Heat and Cyclone Swell
February follows a near-identical pattern to January but with a slightly more southerly flavour. Average height comes up to 1.7m (5-6ft), periods nudge to 8.8s, and the swell is split between ENE (15 percent), E (17 percent), ESE (17 percent), SE (18 percent) and SSE (16 percent), giving the beach plenty of east-southeast energy. While most waves sit in the 1-2m (3-6ft) window, the SE/SSE columns hold more 2-2.5m (6-8ft) sets. The wind still runs mainly from the NE (15 percent) and NNE (12 percent), and with a 23.5°C ocean and 4.36mm/day of rain, the air mass is humid and tropical. The wildcard is tropical cyclones in the Coral Sea; a well-placed cyclone can send longer-period E/SE pulses down the coast and produce the most powerful surf of the summer, though often with onshore east winds attached.
