Conditions at Venice Beach in February
February: More Size, Same Long-Period Punch
February is typically the largest month on average at Venice Beach, with mean swell height 3ft (0.9m) and a long 12.0s period. The direction spread remains ideal: W 50.8%, WSW 34.2%, and SW 9.8%, meaning nearly every swell is hitting the beach with maximum exposure. The size profile is slightly fatter than January, with about 21% in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) rippable range and another 5% in the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) firing zone.
Ideal wind drops a little to 49%, but the pattern is still winter-like: NNE 13.3%, NNW 11.4%, and N 6.8% provide plenty of offshore and cleaning flow between rain fronts. With 3.71mm/day of precipitation and air temps around 13.4°C, expect a distinctly cool, fresh Pacific vibe. Water temp stays at 13.9°C, and the combination of long-period west/southwest swell and offshore windows makes February a prime month for quality.
