February: Nor'easter Season Holds Strong
February brings more of the same winter magic, with the average swell holding at 2ft (0.7m) and the period stretching slightly to 8.2s. Directionally, E (20.3%), ENE (15.6%), and NE (14.6%) remain the dominant swell sources, keeping 59% of the spectrum inside the pier's sweet spot. The first genuine 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) pulses of the year appear in the data from the E and ENE sectors - a taste of what happens when a strong nor'easter develops over the Gulf Stream. Ideal wind remains at 21%, tied for the annual maximum. The dominant NNW wind flow (11.2%) combines with a healthy WSW-W component to give frequent clean windows between fronts.
Water temperatures bottom out at 19.7°C (67°F), making February the coldest month of the surf year - a 3/2 or even 4/3 for the early sessions. Air temps average 16°C (61°F) with 2.2 mm/day of rain. Keep an eye on the North Atlantic pressure maps: strong highs over the Great Lakes and deep lows off the Mid-Atlantic produce the biggest and cleanest swell trains of the entire Florida winter.
