February: Warmer Water, Same Conundrum
February sees the Tasman Sea in a more relaxed mood, with average swells down slightly to 1.6m (5-6ft) and the period ticking up to 11.7s. The swell mix is even more WSW-heavy - nearly half of all wave energy arrives from the WSW, with W, WNW and NW contributing most of the rest. It's still a fun-sized, rippable setup, mostly in the 1-2m (3.5-6.5ft) range. The wind picture improves a touch: the ESE component reaches over 12 percent, and the overall ideal offshore wind percentage improves to 37 percent. Still, the W/NW onshore quadrant controls too many sessions, especially in the afternoons. Look for days when an anticyclone sits to the south and funnels a light ESE breeze through the coast. With the sea surface temperature peaking at 18.0°C, this is the warmest session of the year - just bring a board you don't mind dinging on the shallow inside sandbar.
