Conditions at Flagler Avenue in February
February: Consistent Mid-Winter Swell
February delivers essentially the same menu as January - average swell 4ft (1.2m) and period 8.2s - but with a bit more E/ESE flavor. E swell accounts for 18.4% of the wave rose, followed by ENE (13.7%), NE (13.2%) and ESE (15.1%). The north-northeast sector (NNE 9.3%) keeps the ideal window fed, and there are plenty of 5-7ft (1.5-2m) waves on the NE and ENE shelves. Winds are ideal 41 percent of the time, with W, WSW and NW breezes cleaning things up after frontal passages. NNW (10.7%) remains the single most common wind direction, but it's cross-shore and not the onshore easterly that ruins the beach. Air temps average 18.9°C (66°F), water temps ease to 19.6°C (67°F), and precipitation is similar to January at 2.25 mm/day.
