Conditions at Gas Chambers in February
February: Deep Water Pulse, Winter Trades Grinding
February keeps the winter momentum going with average swell heights around 5ft (1.5m) and a period of 9.8s. The swell remains locked in the northeast quadrant: NE and ENE each contribute about 29%, while NNE adds another 19.8%. The 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) classes are well stocked, giving the break plenty of working size. Yet the ideal SW/W/WNW groundswell still doesn't show up, so Gas Chambers depends on wrapped and refracted northerly energy.
Clean surf is hard to come by-only 40% of the time is wind ideal. ENE winds blow 20-30kph for 20.5% of the month, and the E quadrant adds another layer of texture. The 9.8s period does give the waves some punch, but you have to pick the calmer windows. Air temperature averages 25.0°C, water temperature is 26.3°C, and precipitation is 1.85mm/day.
