Conditions at Saltburn in February
February: Still Rumbling Under Winter
February is almost as generous as January, with an average swell height of 4.6ft (1.4m) and a period of 7.5s. The direction mix remains excellent: NNW (8.9%), N (7.6%) and NNE (7.8%) dominate, while NE adds another 5.4%. The larger waves tend to appear from the NNW and NNE sectors, which means the swell is aimed straight into Saltburn's exposed NNE-facing beach.
Wind-wise, the pattern stays locked in a favourable winter regime. SW (13.3%), WSW (13.5%) and SSW (11.3%) are the big hitters, and the total offshore frequency sits near 39%. Onshore N-NNE-NE flow is limited to about 14%, so the vast majority of the month offers groomed conditions. Add average precipitation of 1.87mm/day and water temp at 6.3°C, and you have a cold, clean, consistent winter month.
