Conditions at North Beach in February
February: Late-Summer Pulses Begin
February gives a subtle upgrade over January. The average period moves up to 9.4s and the favourable E/ESE/ENE swell window actually strengthens - E and ESE combine for 47.9%, with another 7.9% from ENE. That means the swell direction is more consistent with North Beach's best-exposure direction. The NE wind is still the main enemy, blowing at 19.8%, and ENE adds another 14.8%, so onshore conditions prevail too often. Ideal surf windows remain low at 27%, but the light SSW/SW transitions can groom the later afternoon. Water temp stays warm at 25.7°C, air temps average 25.1°C, and rainfall is 3.30mm/day. It's not yet firing, but the swell quality is trending in the right direction.
