February: Nor'easter Central and Consistent Pulse
February keeps the winter momentum going with another average of 5-6ft (1.7m) and 8.7 seconds of period. The top swell directions are SSW (15.4%), S (11.1%) and SW (10.6%), with the SSE (6.3%) and ESE (5.4%) adding variety. This is prime nor'easter territory: coastal lows bomb out along the Gulf Stream and send long-fetched swell into the Nova Scotia coast. Winds are still dominated by the northwest quadrant - WNW 14.8%, NNW 13.1%, NW 12.2% - but the magic happens on the 35% of days when the breeze turns N, NNE, NE or NNW and the surf turns groomed, clean and lined-up. Water temp bottoms out at 0.9°C (33.6°F), air temps average -2.0°C (28.4°F), and ice can be a factor on the beach. February is for the dedicated.
