Conditions at Kalk Bay in February
February: Still Sideshore, But a Touch More Period
February is a carbon copy of January in many ways. Average height remains 2.3m (7.5ft), while period nudges up to 11.4s. SE and SSE winds still dominate, combining for 55.1% of observations and making onshore sideshore conditions the norm. The good news is that the swell window is broad: SW contributes 24.3%, SSW 22.2%, and S/SSE another 16.6%, so there is almost always energy wrapping into the bay. With ideal wind only 12%, the key is patience. Early mornings often see lighter N/NW land breezes before the southeast seabreeze fires up. Water temperature drops slightly to 18.0°C and air temps average a warm 21.6°C. When an S/SW groundswell lines up with a morning offshore, you'll find punchy, powerful peaks; otherwise, expect a chop-affected surface.
