Conditions at Red Tree Reef in February
February: Still-Pumping Winter Gold
February holds the reef in a powerful winter groove. Average height eases only slightly to 8-9ft (2.4-2.7m), and the average period remains at a serious 11.8s. WSW is now the most common swell direction at 13.5%, followed closely by SW at 12.5%, with another 6.9% from SSW. The distribution is heavily loaded in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) bracket, meaning Red Tree Reef is consistently holding sizeable, hard-breaking waves. The ideal W and WNW angles are less frequent, but when the swell has any west in it, the reef really stands up.
Wind is slightly more cooperative than January, with 28% ideal conditions. ESE and SE winds still fill in around 22% of the time, but more high-pressure ridges between storms bring lighter offshore ENE/E/ESE windows. Water temp drops to the annual minimum of 5.5°C (42°F), and rain remains common. February is for surfers who want winter's full power without the very peak of December-just wait for the offshore window and enjoy the juice.
