Conditions at North Stradbroke Island in February
February: Late Summer Onshore Blues
February is almost a clone of January, with an average swell of 1.3m (4ft) and a period of 8.8s. East swell dominates at 35%, with ESE at 26% and SE at 16%, so the raw energy is definitely present. But the wind remains the great equaliser: SE winds blow 24% of the time, ESE 18%, and SSE 14%, making ideal offshore flow (W/WNW/NW/NNW) a rare occurrence at just 11%. This gives the surf a classic summer texture - confused, lumpy and cross-onshore - unless you find the early morning before the seabreeze builds. The short-period swell does allow the shifting sandbanks to groom some wedge-like peaks, but only on clean days. Expect heavy showers too, with precipitation at 5.79mm/day, while water temperature peaks at 26.8°C and air temps average 25.4°C.
