Conditions at White Plains Beach in February
February: Still Locked in the North
February looks very similar to January. The average swell is 6ft (1.8m) with a 12.4s period, and the primary directions are still WNW (10.9%), NW (17.9%) and NNW (12.3%) - all poor for the south-facing coast. The good news is a slight increase in ENE swell (11.3%) and a touch more E/SE spread, giving a few more lines that sneak around the island. Ideal winds drop to 23%, but when the N/NNE trades kick in after a front, conditions can be glassy. Water temps cool slightly to 24.2°C, air sits at 22.6°C, and precipitation rises a bit to 2.26 mm/day - so layering is sometimes needed for dawn sessions.
