Conditions at Mooloolaba in February
February: Cyclone Country
February keeps the taps on with average swell nudging up to 5-6ft (1.7m) and the period stretching slightly to 8.6s. East and ESE each contribute around 32% of the swell spectrum, and there is a healthy chunk of 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) energy from the ESE to SE quadrant. However, wind is the great equalizer: SE winds dominate at 25.2%, with ESE at 18.3% and SSE at 13.2%. Ideal offshore flow from WSW-WNW occurs only 9% of the time. With water temperature at 26.6°C and rainfall up to 7.59mm/day, this is prime tropical cyclone season. When a cyclone tracks through the Coral Sea, Mooloolaba can see serious E/SE swell, but it almost always comes with deteriorating, stormy conditions.
