Conditions at Scarborough in February
February: Still Summer, but a Hint of Better Winds
February is very similar to January - average wave height 1.8m (6ft), period 11.8s - yet the ideal wind share rises slightly to 25%. Swell remains locked in the SSW (33.3%) and SW (44.9%) quadrant, with the bulk of waves sliding into the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range. The wind roses show a slight easing of afternoon SSW/SW onshore flow, with SW winds dropping to 7.3% and a healthy pulse of E and ESE as high pressure drifts south. Air temperature averages 23.3°C, water temperature reaches 22.2°C, and precipitation stays low at 0.61mm/day. Surfing quality is better than January: shorter-period but lined-up waves in the morning, with more days offering clean offshore ESE to E winds before the sea breeze takes over.
