Conditions at Brookings in February
February: Continued Cold-Water Power
February looks almost identical to January, with averages settling around 9.2ft (2.8m) and 12.8s. The W and WNW swell trains remain the workhorses (12.8% and 14.1%), while the NW direction becomes a bit more important (8.1%) and WSW still sneaks in with 5.5%. The quality of Brookings depends on how much west-southwest energy is mixed in; pure northwesterly swell tends to hit the Southwest-facing shoreline on the shoulder. Winds are ideal 48% of the time, while the southern quadrant - especially S at 14.8% and SSE at 11.4% - provides most of the undesirable, wave-wrecking wind. Water temp is at its annual minimum around 10.6°C, and 6.84 mm/day of precipitation keeps the rivers full and the coastline green. The best sessions come when a holding pattern allows several days of N/NE wind over a fading W swell.
