Conditions at Pacific City in February
February: Still Throwing Haymakers
February is statistically almost identical to January and remains one of the most reliable months for serious surf. Average wave height is 8.5ft (2.6m) and period is 12.8 seconds, with W (20.3%) and WNW (18.7%) swell leading the charge and WSW contributing a further 10.2%. Most swells sit between 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) and over, so peaks at Pacific City have real power behind them. Ideal offshore winds occur 34% of the time - mainly from E, ESE, and NE - while S/SSW winds can quickly chop things up. With water temperature at 9.7°C, air averaging 5.5°C, and precipitation at 6.3 mm/day, you will be suiting up in winter conditions. The good news is that February's long-period swells, combined with an offshore easterly, can produce some of the most memorable, grinding sessions of the year.
