February: Same Summer Pattern, Slightly Longer Period
February keeps a tight grip on summer, with average swell height around 7.5ft (2.3m) and period 11.4s. SW (24.3%), SSW (22.2%), S (11.1%), SSE (5.5%) and WSW (4.2%) continue to supply consistent long-period groundswell, but the atmosphere is stuck in its summer rut. The SSE wind cell is again the main player at 34.3%, supported by SE (18.6%) and S (16.1%), creating an onshore regime for most of the month. The offshore N/NNE/NW/NNW directions add up to only about 9%, and ideal surf time is just 12%. The south-easterly tends to peak in the afternoon, so dawn patrol is the only reliable window. Water temp sits at 18.0°C, air temp averages 21.6°C, and rainfall remains low at 0.54 mm/day - clean waves are rare but not impossible when a passing high pressure cell delivers a light offshore morning.
