February: Strong W-NW Swell Persists, Offshore Windows Remain Rare
February looks very similar to January. Average swell height is 1.0m (3ft) and average period is 13.5s, with the swell rose showing 43.6% from W, 41.3% from WNW, and 2.5% from NW - a fantastic directional setup for the west-northwest-facing beach. The 1-1.5m (3-5ft) class is well represented, especially from W and WNW, and the long 13-14s intervals mean the energy is organised and powerful. However, ideal clean conditions occur just 6% of the time. Wind observations are overwhelmingly dominated by NNW at 51.1%, with NW at 19.2% and N at 9.2%, so onshore or cross-shore winds are the norm. Still, winter cold fronts in the Pacific can produce brief SW/WSW offshore pushes, and those windows turn the 3-4ft W-WNW groundswell into clean, hollow waves. Water temp eases to 24.5°C, air temps average 23.5°C, and rainfall stays negligible at 0.90 mm/day.
