Conditions at Black Rock in February
February: Late Summer Consistency With Better Period
February brings another month of predominantly ENE, E, ESE, SE and SSE swell, with the NE also chipping in around 10 percent. True SSW-W swell remains under one percent, so Black Rock is still not firing from its ideal direction. The average wave period improves to 8.7s and the average height sits near 5-6ft (1.7m), giving the waves a punchier, more organised feel. Wind conditions are a highlight: NNE and NE winds combine for roughly 29 percent of the wind rose, and the ideal-wind score reaches 33 percent. That means clean, offshore mornings are common, but wave quality is limited by direction. Water temperature peaks at 22.5°C, air averages 21.8°C, and daily rainfall climbs slightly to 4.39 mm/day. Expect fun, rippable surf rather than true Black Rock bomboras.
