Conditions at Bathtub Beach in February
February: Winter's Strongest Card
February doubles down on the northeast swell machine. NE swell becomes the single largest direction at 17.1 percent, with ENE at 15.6 and NNE at 14.9, meaning the east-facing angle of Bathtub Beach is right in the firing line. Offshore wind windows tick down slightly to 27 percent, but they are often tied to strong frontal passages that sweep colder, drier air across Florida and produce clean W and NW breezes. The average period of 7.7s keeps the surf in that punchy, rideable category, and the 4ft (1.2m) average includes a healthy share of 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) waves from the NE/ENE directions. Water temps dip to around 22.3°C, while air temps average 20.9°C, and rain stays relatively low. For the reef, February is one of the most reliable months of the year.
