February: The Best Shot at a Glassy Dawn Patrol
February offers one of the year's genuine windows of opportunity at Oscar Point. Average swell is 5ft (1.5m), the period is 13.1s, and nearly 99% of the energy arrives from the ideal SSW and SW swell directions. A large chunk of that sits in the 1-1.5m (3-5ft) and 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) classes, producing punchy, long-period waves. The wind picture improves slightly: offshore N-NNE-NE-ENE flow reaches 4%-the second-highest monthly total-while the prevailing S/SSW/SW onshore winds are mostly light, with very few readings above 20kph. The ocean temperature climbs to 19.8°C and the air to 21.4°C. February is a dawn-patrol month: when a light offshore land breeze aligns with that solid SSW groundswell, Oscar Point can turn on with clean, glassy shoulders.
