Conditions at Banana Beach in February
February: Still Pumping, Still Consistent
February is almost a carbon copy of January in terms of size and power. The average swell is again 2.2m (7-8ft) with a 13.0s period, so any low pressure sliding down the Atlantic track delivers heavy, organizing groundswell. Directional distribution is heavily weighted toward NNW (32.7%) and NW (27.9%), with WNW (7.6%) and W (0.8%) also present. The bigger waves - 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) - are the dominant size class, keeping Banana Beach bowling.
Surface winds stay favorable 57% of the time. NNW flow (24.3%) and NW (10.3%) are common, but the offshore NNE-NE-ENE-E sector remains well represented and gives the coast its cleanest windows. Water temp drops to 16.9°C, air averages 15.1°C, and precipitation creeps up to 1.24mm/day. February is still premium winter surf - bring decent rubber and pick your tide wisely.
