Conditions at Cobden in February
February: Late-Summer Power and Warm Water
February is the warmest month of the year with the sea sitting at 18.0°C, and Cobden sees a touch more consistency in the swell department. Average height is around 5ft (1.6m) and the period stretches to 11.7s, so when it hits it still hits with authority. WSW swell accounts for 49% of the spectrum, while the preferred W-WNW-NW-NNW window totals 41%. The wind regime improves slightly - ideal offshore flow reaches 37% of the time, with dominant contributions from E at 7% and ESE at 12%. Onshore W-NW winds are still a factor at 38%, but the clean windows are longer and often coincide with the longest-period groundswell. This is a good month for chasing early W pulses before the sea breeze or westerly front kicks in. Air temp averages 15.2°C and rainfall is lower at 4.44mm/day, making it one of the more pleasant months to be wet.
