Conditions at Afife in February

February: Short Month, No Letup

February keeps the winter rhythm going with a 2.6m (8.5ft) average swell and a powerful 12.9s period. WNW and NW groundswell dominate again, with the 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) class especially well represented, backed by solid W and WSW energy. The ideal wind share drops slightly to 49 per cent, but E and ESE offshore days are still very much in play, especially under post-frontal high pressure. Average air temperature is 9.4°C, water temperature is a cool 13.0°C, and precipitation is a little lower than January at 3.43mm/day. Expect punchy, lined-up surf on a west-facing beach that loves the long-period NW groundswell. If you can pick the offshore windows, February delivers some of the best, most powerful surf of the year.
