Conditions at Fishermans Point in February
February: Swell Holds Small as Onshore Flow Tightens
February remains stuck in the low season. Swell averages 3ft (0.9m) at 10.9s; S and SSW split nearly fifty-fifty, with the SSW lobe contributing the slightly more frequent 3-5ft (1-1.5m) sets. Winds are even worse than January, with ideal conditions just 7% of the time. WSW is the leading wind direction at 24.4%, followed by SW (19.4%) and W (13.1%), while clean offshore ENE/E/ESE/SE flow is almost non-existent. The result is a surface that rarely cleans up; when the south swell wraps in, it is usually chopped up by the onshore westerly breeze. Water temperature eases to 27.5°C and rainfall remains low at 0.60 mm/day.
