Conditions at La Jolla in February
February: A Cleaner Transition
February begins the shift toward more organized conditions. The average period jumps to 11.3s, and the ideal wind percentage increases to 46 percent. Swell direction is split between the NNE/NE quadrant (30.2 percent combined) and the S/SSW quadrant (51.6 percent combined), with S and SSW energy gradually taking over. Average wave height remains around 4.5ft (1.4m), but the longer period and more regular S/SSW lines improve quality at the east-facing beach.
Winds are still dominated by N/NNE flow (33 percent), but the 10-20kph category becomes more common than the stronger 20-30kph winds, meaning less consistent chop. Water temperature is 26.4°C, air temperature averages 24.0°C, and precipitation is very low at 0.05mm/day. The surf is not yet at its spring peak, but the longer-period windows make February a noticeably better month for the patient surfer.
