Conditions at Broadway Beach in February
February: More South Swell, Still Fighting the Cold
February looks similar to January at first glance, with an average height of 2.3ft (0.7m) and period of 6.5s, but the waverose shifts toward E/SE/S energy. The S, SSE, SE, and SSW window makes up about 34% of all swell, though nearly all of it remains below the 3ft (0.9m) mark. N/NNE/NW/NNW winds still combine for roughly 32% of observations, so clean-morning windows are possible before the afternoon southwest wind kicks in. Water temperature hits its annual minimum at around 3.2°C (38°F), so this is strictly a winter-mission spot. Score a day with fading NW wind and a fresh south groundswell, and the low tide banks can actually produce fun, bowling 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) waves.
