Conditions at Cabarita in February
February: Big East Swell, Short Windows
February is statistically one of the biggest months of the year at Cabarita, with an average swell height around 3-4ft (1.2m) and a slightly healthier period of 8.4 seconds. The E direction accounts for a massive 45% of all swell energy, with another 26% from ESE and 12% from SE. This is a swell-rich month for the east coast, and when the conditions align, Cabarita can see consistent, powerful beach break lines.
The catch is wind. Ideal offshore conditions sit at only 23%, with SE and SSE winds combining for nearly 35% of the wind distribution. Those directions are cross-onshore to the east-northeast-facing beach, which puts a lot of texture on the face and shortens the riding radius. Expect a bumpy surface, sideshore drift, and occasional overhead sets when a Coral Sea low or East Coast Low gets involved. Water temps rise to 25.5°C and air temps average 24.8°C, so it is still tropical-style surfing. Look for the early morning glass, then plan for choppy afternoons.
