Conditions at Wilderness in February
February: More of the Same
February mirrors January almost exactly. ESE flow leads at 19.5%, E at 11.4%, SE at 11.1%, and the southerly quadrant remains busy with SSW and SW each near 9%. Offshore flow is still only about 5%, and the average wave data show flat height and period, keeping the ideal-surfing percentage stuck at 0%. Water temperature eases to 20.4°C, air averages 21.3°C, and precipitation is 1.29 mm/day. Expect a low-quality mix of SE windswell and short-period chop; the rare cleaner moments are confined to the pre-dawn hours before the thermal breeze builds.
