February: The Onshore Bias
February is statistically similar to January but with even less favorable wind: ideal conditions drop to just 7%. Average wave height remains 3ft (0.9m), while period ticks up to 10.9s. The swell is split between S (48.7%) and SSW (49.8%), with the SSW direction producing more 3-5ft (1-1.5m) groundswell - 13.4% compared to 7.9% from the S. That is enough to break the beach, but with WSW (24.4%) and SW (19.4%) winds dominating, the wave faces often arrive as lumpy, textured lines.
