Conditions at Ozaki in February
February: Slight Energy Returns, Still Small
February brings a marginal increase in size, with the average swell creeping up to 0.7m (2.3ft) and the period holding at 8.5 seconds. The dominant swell directions broaden, with ESE at 17.2%, SE at 13.2%, E at 10.2% and S/SSW contributing a larger share of the mix. The wind regime remains heavily influenced by the Siberian High, as WNW, NW and NNW winds combine for nearly 40% of the observations, but ideal conditions still only occur 7% of the time due to strength and consistency issues. When a cold front clears and offshore flow moderates, there are brief windows of fun, clean 2-3ft waves, especially on the better S/SSE swells. Water temperature drops slightly to 18.2°C, while air temps average 8.9°C and precipitation begins increasing toward spring.
