Conditions at Avalanche in February
February: Late Summer Consistency
February is just as good as January on paper, with 28 percent ideal wind and average swell of 6-7ft (2.0m) at 11.0s. The SSW swell machine remains the main producer, contributing 28.1% of all wave energy, supported by S at 18.3% and SSE at 12.8%. Strong E wind is the primary negative player, at 19.7% of the wind rose, with ENE adding another 11.3%; these put a cross-onshore chop on the NNE-facing beach. Still, WSW and SW winds total 27.5 percent combined, so there are frequent clean windows, especially when the South Atlantic high tightens its gradient and a light offshore breeze polishes the shoulders. Water temperature sits at 20.3°C and air temperatures average 22.3°C, making it a pleasant month to hunt the morning glass.
