Conditions at Windang Island in February
February: Warmest Water, Persistent Easterly Groundswell
February is statistically similar to January, with an average swell height of around 6ft (1.7m) and a wave period of 8.8s. The dominant swell directions shift slightly: E, ESE, SE and SSE make up about 66% of the total, with ENE adding another 15%. This is a month where the E/SE swell windows are well fed by tropical lows in the Coral Sea as well as Tasman lows. The 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) and 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) categories are well represented, so there is real power. However, ideal wind drops to just 20%; southerly winds are the most frequent individual direction at 13.6%, while NNE/NE and SSE flows all compete for dominance. This makes for a lot of surface chop. Look for morning W/NW windows with incoming E/ESE groundswell. Water temperature is 22.8°C, the warmest of the year, with air temperatures averaging 20.6°C (min 8.8°C, max 42.1°C) and rainfall at 4.45 mm/day.
