February: Bigger West Swell and a Shift in Wind
The average swell height ticks up to 0.9m (3ft), with W and WSW swells making up 85% of the wave rose. The period remains long at 12.0s, and February sees a solid increase in 1-1.5m (3-5ft) surf, with close to 28% of readings above 1m (3.3ft). The trade-off is wind; ideal offshore wind drops to 29%, with W and WNW winds gaining frequency. Still, the onshore flow is mostly light-to-moderate under 20kph, so dawn patrol often wins. Rain is highest at 3.28mm/day, water sits at 14.0°C, and air averages 12.1°C.
