Conditions at Scripps in February
February: Peak Swell Size Meets a Fickle Wind Rose
February is often one of the biggest months of the year at Scripps. Average swell height edges up to 1.1m (3.6ft), still with a long-period 12.4s pulse. The west remains dominant (53.2%) and the WSW window expands to 32.5%, while SW supply adds another 9%. Many days deliver 0.5-1.5m rides with occasional 1.5-2.5m sets. The catch is wind: ideal conditions drop to 34% of the time. WNW (14.2%) and NW (11.2%) winds are the main onshore disruptors, while ENE and E flows still provide clean windows. Winter storms bring the most rain of the year at 2.77mm/day, with air temps near 14.4°C and water at 14.7°C. If you pick the between-front windows, Scripps can be excellent.
