February: The Offshore Wind Sweet Spot
February is statistically the best month for clean surf at The Radisson, with ideal winds reaching 16%. Average swell size holds at 0.8m and period ticks up to 8.4s. The wave rose is full of favorable NE-ENE-E energy - E comprises 24.5%, ENE 17.9%, NE 14.3%, ESE 11.7% - and a decent chunk of the ENE and NE swell falls in the fun-sized 1-1.5m bracket. Water temperature is 20.8°C and air temperature averages 18.6°C. The synoptic pattern is classic winter: cold fronts sweeping across the southeastern United States pull winds around to the SW and W behind them, creating clean, lined-up surf. When a strong North Atlantic low parks offshore, expect 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) waves with occasional overhead sets from ENE. Precipitation is low at 2.18mm/day, so February tends to serve up one of the best combinations of size, period and groomed conditions all year.
