Conditions at Smiths Beach in February
February: Summer Firm but a Touch More Clean
February is almost a carbon copy of January, though the average wave height eases to around 6ft (1.8m) and the period holds at 11.9 seconds. Once again the swell distribution is dominated by SSW (33.1 percent) and SW (33.9 percent), with only a sliver of NW/WSW energy. This is still not prime swell-angle territory for Smiths; the beach needs a more westerly or northwesterly component to really light up.
The wind is marginally better, with ideal offshore flow 19 percent of the time. S/SSW breezes are common, but the daily SSE seabreeze still dominates the afternoon. Water temperature is 21.0°C and rain is minimal. Expect clean, slightly softer 6ft (1.8m) waves on the morning tide and a bumpy sea breeze through the afternoon.
