February: Nor'easter Season in Full Swing
February keeps much of January's momentum, with average swell around 2.5ft (0.8m), average period nudging up to 8.4s, and favorable winds 32% of the time. The wave rose is again dominated by E (24.5%), ENE (17.9%) and NE (14.3%) swell, and ENE shows more size than in January - a full 1.1% of observations sit in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) class. This is classic Nor'easter country: when lows intensify off the Southeast coast, Sebastian Inlet picks up long-period E/NE pulses while local wind direction depends on the storm's position. The wind rose still features a strong NW/NNW post-frontal component (NW 7.0%, NNW 9.7%, WNW 7.1%), so clean windows are frequent.
With air temps around 18.6°C and water holding at 21.3°C, the surf is still comfortably cool. February precipitation is light at 2.18 mm/day, meaning more opportunities to stay dry. This is a solid pick for quality winter surf.
