Conditions at 13th Beach in February
February: Still Summer, But A Little More Life
February remains low season for 13th Beach, but the pattern is a fraction more favourable than January. Ideal offshore winds occur 15% of the time, and the onshore SSE-SW component still dominates at around 49% of wind reports, so the seabreeze battle continues. Swell remains consistent and long-period - 11.3s on average - with SW and SSW groundswell combining for over 72% of the wave energy. The average wave height sits near 5ft (1.5m), and the bulk of the waves arrive in the 3-6.5ft (1-2m) zone. There is a touch more SE and SSE energy than in January, with local windswell mixing into the background, but the overall story is the same: morning glow, afternoon chop. Water temperature reaches the yearly maximum of 20.9°C, with average air temps of 18.3°C. February is a choose-your-window month; if the early northerly breeze holds until mid-morning, there are clean, rippable waves to be had.
