Conditions at Anne Avenue in February
February: Same Ingredients, Mid-Summer Mess
February looks very similar to January on paper. The average swell is 8ft (2.5m), the average period 11.1s, and ideal wind still sits at 23%. The E/ESE/SE swell window increases slightly to 12.9%, meaning more wave energy is arriving from the exposed direction. However, onshore E flow is at its strongest now - the ENE/E/ESE/SE complex totals 46.7% of the wind - and much of it is moderate to fresh. As a result, surface conditions frequently become bumpy and sectiony. The S/SSW/SW groundswell remains the background power source, with S/SSW/SW making up 42.2% of the wave rose, but with onshore flow it rarely translates into clean walls. Warm air (21.8°C average) and 19.9°C water mean it is a beautiful place to sit on a board; just do not expect perfect Anne Avenue every day.
