February: Building Long-Period South Swell
February is nearly as good as January, with 29 per cent offshore wind and a slight bump in average wave height to 6.6ft (2.0m). The average period stretches to 11.0s, so the Southern Ocean groundswell carries real power. The SSW sector is the engine again at 28.1 per cent, with S at 18.3 per cent and SSE at 12.8 per cent. The core of the distribution is in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) band, meaning Millers sees a lot of pumping, head-high-plus surf. The wind rose shows a strong E/ENE flow (31.0 per cent combined) and a WSW/W component around 22.0 per cent. Water temperature eases only slightly to 20.3°C, air averages 22.3°C, and rain stays negligible at 1.28 mm/day. Late-summer cold fronts can deliver a sharp pulse of SW swell; if the wind swings S, expect glassy lines wrapping into the bay.
