February: Slightly Warmer, Still Punchy
February keeps the winter swell machine humming, with average wave heights at 0.6m (2ft) and a period of 6.9s. The wind is ideal for surfing 16% of the time, as northwest and west winds behind cold fronts continue to groom the east-facing beach. Swell direction data shows a real signature shift toward ESE and E, at 16.9% and 18.0% respectively, while ENE and NE add another 28.8% to the total spectrum. This is a fatter, more easterly mix than January, and while most surf sits in the small-wave window of 0.5-1m (1.5-3ft), the NE quadrant still throws around 2% of 1-1.5m (3-5ft) waves. Water temperature dips to 17.4°C (63°F), air temperatures average 15.4°C (60°F). February offers consistent small-wave fishing, especially around reinforcing cold fronts that switch winds to the offshore northwest.
