February: The Cleanest Summer Tradeoff
February is the cleanest full month of the summer. The average swell dips slightly to 1.5m (5ft), but the period expands to 11.8s and the offshore wind score hits 25 percent - the joint best of the year. WSW remains the dominant swell direction at around 55 percent, with W and WNW energy filling in the gaps; the result is smooth, lined-up, long-period groundswell. Most surf comes in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range with occasional 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) bombs. Wind direction is the key: light ESE/SE flow grooms the surface in the morning, and the afternoon W/NW sea breeze is less aggressive than in January. Water temperature peaks near 20°C (68°F), making February a prime time for warm-water wetsuits and high-quality summer surf.
