Conditions at Lincoln City in February
February: Consistent Winter Groundswell
February is nearly as consistent as January, with an average 8.5ft (2.6m) swell and a 12.8s period. The waverose shows W at 20%, WNW at 19%, and WSW at 10%, meaning Lincoln City sees a broad but constant feed of long-period groundswell from the northwest quadrant. Sets in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.4m) range are common, and overhead-plus waves are the norm on the better sandbars. Offshore flow from the E/ESE/SE remains present in the 22-25% range, and the ideal wind statistic sits at 33%; these east winds typically blow in the wake of passing lows, grooming the swell into clean, punchy peaks. With air temperatures near 5.5°C, water at 9.8°C, and 6.3mm/day of rain, February rewards patience and a good hooded 5/4.
