Conditions at Newport in February
February: Still Cooking in Summer's Soupy Swell
February is a mirror of January with a touch more power. Average size bumps to 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m), period stretches slightly to 8.6s, and favourable wind remains low at 14%. The dominant swell directions are E (23%), ESE (21%), SE (21%) and ENE (15%), meaning the swell window is absolutely aimed at Newport. The problem is the wind: NE (14%) and NNE (10%) rule, while ENE/SE/S onshore flows add up to a choppy surface. Water temperature peaks at 22.6°C and rain averages 4.53 mm/day, often associated with humid afternoon nor'easters. Surfable 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves are almost always present, but quality is limited to early mornings or the brief hours immediately after a cold front pushes through and the wind swings offshore before dying off.
