Conditions at Pease Bay in February
February: Cold NE Windows
February continues the winter rhythm but with slightly less size: average swell 5ft (1.5m), period 6.2s. The ideal offshore wind appears just 11% of the time, the lowest of the year. The N/NE quadrant still contributes about 20% of all waves, with ENE showing 5.7% and solid energy in the 1.5-2.5m range. A mean period around 6s means the surf is largely locally generated, but the more powerful N/NE pulses arrive when a low pressure system sits near southern Norway and a strong pressure gradient over the North Sea creates a true easterly/northeasterly fetch. WSW/SW winds are still dominant, especially strong events over 30kph, which can keep the bay blown out or small.
Cold dominates: SST 6.1°C, air 4.4°C, frequent rain. You need an active North Sea low to align the swell direction and a post-frontal westerly wind to produce the cleanest conditions. February delivers when the setup aligns, but patience is required.
