Conditions at Express Point in February
February: Warm Water, Waiting Game
February remains locked in the Australian summer pattern. The average swell height holds at 4.6ft (1.4m), while the average period ticks up slightly to 11.5s. Swell direction is again dominated by the S/SSW/SW quadrant: SW at 51 percent, SSW at 23 percent, S at 6 percent and SSE at 5 percent. Most surf will roll in at 3-5ft (1-1.5m), with a healthy 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) component in SW groundswell pulses. The data show ideal wind only 18 percent of the time, and the wind rose is heavy with SSE through WSW flow - exactly the onshore directions that wreck Express Point's shape. Combined onshore and cross-onshore winds from S, SSW, SW and WSW account for a big slice of the month, so surface conditions deteriorate quickly after lunch. Water temperature peaks around 19.2°C; the trade-off is small, bumpy waves, with the occasional dawn patrol scoring clean, warm chest-to-head-high sets.
