Conditions at Merimbula Bar in February
February: Still Stuck in the Trades
February is a close cousin to January. Average surf sits around 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) with a modest 8.4s period, and NE (15.9%) plus ENE (13.8%) swells still lead the charge. The favourable SE-SSW spread improves slightly to 36%, but too much of it arrives alongside the very S/SSW winds that kill the surface at Merimbula Bar.
Ideal offshore wind runs only 24% of the time, with NNE (18.5%) and SSW (13.1%) dominating the wind rose. Summer warmth persists: air averages 20.2°C, water is 20.8°C, and rain picks up slightly at 3.45mm/day. When a genuine S/SSW groundswell coincides with a pre-dawn NW/NNW offshore, the Bar can still hold its own, but don't expect flat-out classic sessions.
