Conditions at Caswell Beach in February
February: Cold Consistency and Punchy Groundswell
February is very similar to January but with a slightly lighter overall feel. Average swells are still solid at 5ft (1.5m) and the 10.5s period keeps the wave quality in the powerful long-period bracket. WSW/W remains the dominant swell source at about 58% of observations, while the preferred SSE-S-SSW-SW sector contributes around 12%. This month sees one of the highest ideal wind percentages of the year at 15%, and when a ridge or high pressure slips in behind a low, offshore N/NE or NNW winds can groom the beach into clean, hollow lines. Air temperatures bottom out near 5.7°C with lows down to -6.5°C, water dips to 7.9°C, and precipitation remains active at 2.96mm/day. It is cold, but the swell consistency makes February a prime month at Caswell.
