February: Picking Up the Tempo
February matches January for swell size, averaging 2.0m, with a slightly longer period of 11.0s. The south-west source remains the engine room: SSW accounts for 28.1%, S 18.3%, and SSE 12.8%, while modest SW adds 8.4%. This configuration means the pier sees a broad spread of southerly energy, most of it falling in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range, with occasional bigger sets from SSW/SW.
Wind conditions are again ideal 28% of the time. WSW continues to be the primary offshore wind at 16.5%, with SW at 11.0%; but the easterly machine is equally strong, with E at 19.7% and ENE at 11.3%. February's surf is best under the early WSW mornings before the onshore seabed drags its foot across the swell. Water temperature edges up to 20.3°C and average air temps reach 22.3°C, making this the peak of summer comfort for the Algoa Bay area.
