February: Dirty Power with Clean Windows
February runs almost neck-and-neck with January, averaging 8ft (2.4m) of swell at 12.9 seconds. The energy is again locked into the WNW-NW-NNW quadrant, with the NW and WNW combined making up 41.5 percent of the wave rose. The ideal wind percentage ticks up slightly to 44 percent, and NNW winds are the most common wind event at 21.5 percent-a favorable pattern for this stretch of coast. Water temperature drops to 14.4°C, the coolest of the year, while air temperatures stay around 12.9°C. The key difference from January is the slightly broader arrival of WSW and W swell, adding variety to the groundswell. This is a prime month for bigger-wave chargers looking for consistent 6-8ft (1.8-2.5m) pulse with occasional overhead-plus sets.
