February: Peak Consistency and Cold, Clean Power
February is one of the most reliable months of the year. Average swell height ticks up to 1.1m (3.5ft) with a 12.0s period, and the swell distribution still favors west (49 percent) and west-southwest (26 percent), with enough south-southwest energy mixed in to keep the break from becoming too westerly. The majority of surf falls in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) to 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range, while the W and WNW pulses can push the 5-6ft (1.5-2m) range. Ideal winds remain common at 63 percent, and the frequent north-northeast flow keeps Point Dume fairly sheltered and lined up. February is also the wettest month with 3.71 mm/day of rainfall, so expect periods of fresh northwest wind and lumpy conditions right after fronts. Water temperature drops to 13.9°C (57°F), making a quality winter suit essential.
