February: Winter's Last Stand
February remains winter's last stand with an average swell height of 0.7m (2.3ft), a period of 6.5s and ideal surfing winds only 5% of the time. E, ESE, SE and SSE directions combine for roughly a third of the swell observations, while the strongest totals sit in the 0.5-1m class, especially from the SSE and S quadrants. The W, WNW, NW and NNW wind directions still blow often, but they are frequently in the 20-40kph range, so when they do groom the surface, they can also shred it with cold, gusty lines. Water temperature drops to its coldest point of the year at 3.6°C, and precipitation averages 2.79mm per day. Late February is often when the first serious Nor'easter stretches a long-period E swell into Stone Harbor, making it worth keeping an eye on the Atlantic while your winter wetsuit still has some life left in it.
