February: Consistent Westerly Swell and Building Size
February keeps winter's momentum rolling. The average swell height edges up to 3ft (0.9m), while the period stays strong at 12.1s. The swell window remains locked on the optimal W (42%), WSW (38%) and SW (14%) directions, and the size distribution shows a marked increase in 3-5ft (1-1.5m) waves, especially from the W (12.2%) and WSW (6.0%). There is also a small but meaningful slice of 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) groundswell.
Ideal offshore wind drops slightly to 47%, with NE (12%) and ENE (8%) still leading the charge. Early mornings offer the cleanest conditions; by afternoon, the westerly sea breeze adds texture. Precipitation is the highest of the year at 2.90 mm/day, but frontal passages often leave behind fresh, clean swell. Water temps stay cool at 14.6°C, so a good 4/3 wetsuit remains essential. February is another high-quality month for Salt Creek.
