February: Long Periods And Clean East Winds
February continues the winter theme with an average swell height of about 8ft (2.4m) and an average period of 12.5s. The dominant swell direction shifts a little more toward the west, with W at 23.2%, WSW at 18.2% and SW at 10.7% - exactly the swell window Cox Bay needs to produce clean, rippable faces. The period remains in the powerful long-period class, so the waves have real push and can double up over the sandbars. On the wind front, E (13.6%), ESE (11.9%) and ENE (9.4%) keep a solid offshore influence, and the ideal-wind percentage checks in at 37%. But WNW (13.1%) is also a major contributor, so there is an ongoing battle between post-frontal offshore flow and incoming northwesterly onshore conditions. Water temperature is still cold at 7.7°C (46°F), air temperatures average 5.2°C (41°F), and precipitation eases slightly to 7mm/day. February rewards patience: pick the offshore windows and you will find powerful, long-period surf.
