Conditions at Spessard Holland in February
February: Mid-Winter Consistency
February closely mirrors January, with average wave heights around 2-3ft (0.8m) and a slightly longer 8.4s period. The directional window is even more loaded toward the east: E swell accounts for 24.5% of all observations, with ENE close behind at 18%, NE at 14%, and NNE at 10%. The majority are clean 1-3ft (0.5-1m) waves, but the ENE/NE groundswell channels produce a healthy share of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and occasional 4-6ft (1.2-1.8m) sets. This is one of the most dependable months for semi-organized surf.
Wind percentages remain favorable compared to summer: offshore flow blows around 24% of the time. However, NNE and NNW breezes are common, and any sustained NE/E wind will chop up the surface. The key is timing the post-frontal switch to SW/W before the next high pressure builds in and re-establishes NE winds. With air temps near 65°F (18.6°C) and water still a crisp 70°F (21.3°C), a hood is optional but a spring suit is definitely required.
