Conditions at North Point in February
February: Warm, Punchy and Still a Little Inconsistent
February sits near the bottom of the annual swell cycle with an average wave height of 6ft (1.8m) and an average period of 11.9 seconds. Once again, the SSW/SW combo dominates the wave rose, providing around two-thirds of all swell energy, while the important WSW and W directions remain minor players. That means the best surf will rely on southwest groundswell wrapping into this west-facing stretch, rather than pure west or northwest swell.
Ideal wind percentages tick up only slightly to 15%. The wind rose still features a strong S/SSE component, with SSE on 21% and S on 18%, but the E through SE quadrant is more present than in January, totaling roughly 32% of the wind distribution. Speeds are often in the 20-40kph range though, which can keep the surface lumpy through the afternoon. Air temperatures average 20.7°C, water temperature reaches 21.0°C, and rainfall stays light at 0.45 mm/day. February is best for dawn patrol, when offshore E/SE winds groom the swell before the seabreeze gets a vote.
