Visitors to Hilton Head Island in February can expect daytime temperatures averaging in the high 50s and low 60s Fahrenheit (14-17 degrees Celsius), with nighttime lows dipping into the 40s (4-9 degrees Celsius). While the ocean temperature remains too cool for comfortable swimming for most, the mild climate is generally pleasant for outdoor activities like golfing, biking, and exploring the island’s natural beauty. Rainfall is possible but typically less frequent than in other months.
This period offers a unique opportunity to experience the island’s charm with fewer crowds and lower accommodation rates compared to peak season. The pleasant temperatures make it ideal for enjoying outdoor pursuits without the summer heat and humidity. Historically, February has been a popular time for those seeking a tranquil escape and a chance to witness the island’s early spring awakening.
