February: Same Swell, Still Fighting the Southeaster
February offers much the same pattern as January, but with a slight uptick in clean conditions (10% ideal). Average swell remains 7ft (2.1m) at 11.4s, with SW (30%) and SSW (29%) sharing the load and S (12%) adding background energy. However, S (39%), SSE (15%) and SSW (15%) winds dominate the wind rose, keeping the surf lumpy and onshore at this southwest-facing setup. The water is 15.4°C, air averages 20.4°C, and rain is scarce at 0.32mm/day. There is plenty of swell, but you have to be selective to find a clean, groomed wave.
