Conditions at Choshi in February
February: The Last Full Month of Winter Peaks
February offers very similar conditions to January, but with a slight shift towards more NE and ENE swell as the storm track begins to wobble northwards. Average heights remain at a solid 5-6ft (1.7m), with periods of 9.8s keeping the surf punchy and well organized. The wave rose shows NE/NNE energy dominating (over 40%), while the south/southeast quadrant manages only about 9% of the observations. That scarcity makes any SSE/S swell window very valuable. The wind regime is still strongly influenced by the Siberian High, with NNW and NNE flows combining for the majority of offshore conditions; ideal wind occurs 39% of the time. Water temperatures bottom out near 11.3°C, making early-morning sessions in February the coldest of the year. The surf is generally more walled up than trippy, but the consistent winter grind delivers plenty of solid, rippable waves for those willing to brave the cold.
