February: Steady Winter Grind
February keeps the North Atlantic taps open. Average height is again 6ft (1.8m) and period 6.4s. The data still favors ENE (40.9%) and NE (25.2%), with NNE adding 13.9%. The biggest jump from January is in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) bands, especially ENE with 19.9% in the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) class and 8.0% in the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) class; N also contributes a bit more 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) energy. The wind distribution is nearly identical to January-E 37.5%, ENE 25.0%, ESE 15.4%-with ideal wind at 68%, the lowest of the winter. That means a bit more variability: occasional cold front pushes can produce N/NNE winds and bumpier conditions. Water temp edges down to 26.3°C, air temperature remains at 24.9°C, and precipitation is low at 2.26mm/day. Overall, February offers some of the most consistent shoulder-to-head-high surf of the year.
