Conditions at Chesterman Beach in February

February: Heavy Swell, Mixed Winds

February keeps winter energy alive with an average swell of 2.4m (7.9ft) and a 12.5s period. The W direction nudges ahead with WSW and SW also well represented, making for a slightly west-heavy swell window that breaks shapely on Chesterman's banks. Winds are more mixed than January: ESE and E offshore flow is balanced by WNW and NW onshore events, and the ideal wind percentage edges down slightly to 25%. Periods remain in the powerful long-period bracket, so the clean windows are well worth chasing. Air temps average 5.2°C, water temp remains cold at 7.7°C, and precipitation eases a bit to 6.96mm/day - still a hood, gloves, and boot day for most.
