February: Long-Period Power Keeps Delivering
February's average 2.7m (8.9ft) and 11.8s period keep Sealion Cove in the upper echelon of winter. WSW and SW swells dominate the wave rose - 13.5% and 12.5% respectively - with SSW adding another 6.9%, while the W-NNW window sits near 7.5% of the energy. The period remains excellent, so the wave quality when the wind cooperates is still right up there.
Ideal offshore E/ESE/SE/SSE winds blow 41% of the time, and ENE flow adds another 13.8% to the overall offshore family. The ocean is at its coldest, 5.3°C, with average air temps around -1.2°C and 5.51mm/day of precipitation. February is a month to pick the dawn-of-light windows: wait for offshore flow, then hit the cove before the westerly afternoon regime can mess up the lines.
