Conditions at The Wedge in February
February: Bigger Average Size, Slightly Less Clean
February keeps the winter momentum going at The Wedge. The average swell height ticks up to 3ft (0.9m) with the same 12.1s average period, and the swell window still favours WSW (37.7%) and W (41.9%), with a healthier 13.7% from SW. The wedge responds best to those mid-period W/SW groundswells that have enough energy to push into the jetty and stand up quickly. Ideal wind drops to 37% as westerly and west-northwesterly winds strengthen, but N/NNE/NE and NNW directions still provide regular offshore windows. Air temperature averages 14.3°C, water temperature is 14.2°C, and precipitation increases to 3.03mm/day, which often means chasing the cleaner day after a front passes. Overall, February is only a shade behind January for consistency, and it can serve up the same hollow, spitting Wedge on its good days.
