Conditions at Fence in February
February: More of the Same, With a Slight Increase in Size
February keeps the summer pattern intact, but the average swell height edges up to 6-7ft (2.0m) and the period to 11.0s. S/SSW/SW pulses are again the main energy source - SSW totals 28.1%, S 18.3% and SSE 12.8% - with the strongest waves concentrated in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) band. The thermal E/SE wind machine remains active, with E alone at 19.7% and ENE at 11.3%; WSW (16.5%) and SW (11.0%) are the offshore options that make the spot shine. Air temperatures average 22.3°C, water sits at 20.3°C, and precipitation remains low. Surfers should chase the W/SW wind shifts that arrive as weak cold fronts brush the coast, especially in the late afternoon and evening.
