February: Evolving Pulses, Same Summer Pattern
February remains in the low season, but there is a slight improvement in wave period to 9.4s and the ideal wind window edges up to 26%. The average surf height holds at 5ft (1.6m), with the strongest directional focus on ESE 24%, E 24%, SE 19% and SSE 15%. Many days feature clean 3-5ft (1-1.5m) peaks, and the better pulses of 5-6ft (1.5-2m) are not uncommon. The swell is still predominantly E/ESE, so Warner Beach picks up the majority of the energy, though the lack of long-period groundswell keeps things average-to-punchy.
Wind-wise, the NE/NNE trades around 30% and SSW/S winds remain frequent; true offshore W/WNW/NW windows are still limited. Rain decreases slightly to 6.30mm/day, air temps sit near 21.8°C and water temperature peaks for the year at 25.4°C. It is a warm, steamy month where a dawn patrol with light winds can surprise, but the afternoon sea breeze generally puts the brakes on quality.
