February: More Grind, Same Clean Lines
February brings slightly more size, averaging 0.9m (3ft) with the same 12.1s period. The directional mix continues to favor W (42%) and WSW (38%), with the SW component rising to 14%. This southwest shift is subtle but important, as more of the swell energy lines up directly with the beach's southwest face, improving wave shape. However, the period remains long enough that even the west-southwest lines arrive with real power. The wind picture stays promising: offshore flow from the NE (12%) and ENE (8%) remains a regular morning feature, with ideal conditions 42% of the time. But onshore SW/WSW flow is on the increase (32% at light speeds), so the afternoon sea breeze starts to become more of a factor. Water is still cool at 14.2°C (57.6°F), and rain is at its annual peak with 3.03 mm/day, so check the jet stream and be ready to dodge showers for a clean dawn patrol.
