Conditions at Sandon Point in February
February: Still Summery, Slightly Stronger
February maintains a similar summer regime to January, with average swell height 1.7m (5.6ft) and mean period 8.8s. The easterly/southeasterly swell window is consistently active: SE (17.4%), ESE (16.8%), E (16.4%), ENE (15.5%), SSE (14.9%). With roughly 72% of the total swell in the NE through SE quadrant, the point is never completely flat. But winds are once again the limiting factor: only 21% ideal offshore flow, and the rose is dominated by SSE (13.5%), S (13.4%), NE (11.0%) and NNE (10.4%). The stronger onshore patterns, especially 20-30kph NE and S winds, make it hard to find clean, glassy surf. The warmest water of the year at 22.4°C and air temperatures around 20.6°C are nice for surfers, but expect a summer grovel unless a late-season front brings a W/NW offshore. Precipitation is higher at 4.45mm/day.
