Conditions at Stoney Beach in February
February: Late Summer Windows
February is a slightly higher-energy version of January. The average period ticks up to 9.1s, average height holds at 1.1m, and ENE swell reaches its largest monthly share of the year at 27% of the spectrum. Add E at 20% and ESE at 12% and over half the wave energy is coming from the eastern quadrant. But NE winds are still a problem, logging 20% of all wind observations, with NNE another 11%. The ideal wind frequency is only 24%, so texture remains the main issue. Sea temp peaks at 17.6°C, air averages 16.0°C, rainfall is 1.43mm/day. Watch for the late-summer low pressure system drifting down from the subtropics-if it can drag a SW wind into the picture, the ENE swell turns from messy to fun.
