February: The Most Consistent Window of the Year
February pushes the ideal wind score to 49 percent, the highest of any month, and that is the main reason it edges out January. The swell is a solid 6.6ft (2.0m) at 10.8s on average, with SSW delivering 31 percent of the total energy and S adding 18 percent. The 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) bracket remains the dominant band, and most of those waves arrive with that long-period Southern Ocean push.
Winds stay favorable more often than not. S/SW/SSW offshore flow combines with a lighter E/ESE flow that is present around 40 percent of the time; the ESE direction is mostly sideshore and only becomes a problem when it strengthens into the afternoon. Air temperatures hold near 22.1°C and water temperature is 21.5°C. February is a classic month to put Mossel Bay on the radar because the odds are stacked in your favor.
