Conditions at The Alley in February
February: Late-Summer Thump
February turns up the volume without fixing the wind. The average swell height rises to 1.2m (4ft), the average period stretches slightly to 8.4s, and E swell becomes the undisputed driver at 44.8%, with another 26.0% from ESE. This produces plenty of consistent 3-5ft (1-1.5m) lines on the banks, but the surface quality is tricky. Wind is ideal only 29 percent of the time; SSE (18.7%) and SE (16.1%) winds, plus the regular NE/ENE onshore component, leave the break cross-onshore and bumpy much of the day. Air temperatures sit near 25.2°C, water temperatures warm to 25.9°C, and rainfall is high at 5.72 mm/day. A late-season cyclone or deep easterly trough is your best bet for a chance of offshore W/SW wind and proper February waves.
