Conditions at Belmar in February
February: Deep Winter Grind
February maintains a solid 4ft (1.2m) average and a slightly better period of 7.2s. Southerly and SSE swells still dominate, but the favorable ENE/E/ESE/SE quadrant is better represented at 30%, with E (9%) the strongest individual component. The east and east-southeast energy is what Belmar needs; when it lines up with a 7-10s period, the beach can offer fun, rippable walls. Offshore winds from WNW/NW remain frequent, with ideal conditions 37% of the time, and these westerly winds tend to blow cleaner in the wake of passing cold fronts. Water temps bottom out at 4.3°C and air temps average 2.7°C, so this is not a month for warm weather, but it is a month where the ocean still has some punch.
