February: The Cleanest Window of the Year
February is statistically the best month to chase clean waves at Santa Rosa. The ideal wind percentage rises to its second-highest level at 6%, and although S/SSW flow still dominates, the occasional NE/ENE/E/ESE offshore can groom the long-period swell. The average wave height bumps up to 5ft (1.5m) with periods at 13.1s; SSW still provides the bulk with about 77%, while a meaningful 22% arrives from due SW and gives the WSW-facing beach a more direct hit. The 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) class is well represented, so there's real power in the water. With sea surface temps peaking near 19.8C and air temps around 21.4C, this is prime shoulder-season comfort. Keep an eye on the early mornings, when the coastal wind tends to ease and the swell lines stand up cleaner.
