When to go

Thirty-three years of mornings

Every month at the ocean cell offshore: the middle 80% of 33 years of primary-swell readings, and the median — size at sea, not how good the mornings were.

February· 0.8 – 2.0 m offshore

Median primary swell 1.3 m, at about 9 s; the wind sea was glassy or absent on 61% of 7,680 readings across 33 Febs.

The band holds the middle 80% of primary-swell readings at the ocean cell 7 km offshore (p10 to p90), the line the median. It is size at sea, not quality at the break — wind, tide and each break’s own shape are not in it. Read by every break at Jeffreys Bay.
