Conditions at La Graviere in February
February: Peak Winter with a Side of Consistency
February matches January in raw power, holding an average swell height of 6ft (1.8m) and a period of 12.9 seconds. The swell mix remains heavily WNW (41.2%) and NW (33.5%), with strong pulses arriving every few days as Atlantic lows continue to march across the storm track. The distribution is slightly more evenly spread between 0.5m and 2.5m, and 36% of the observations are head-high or bigger, so there is rarely a flat day.
With ideal winds 38% of the time, February is statistically the cleanest month of the winter along with December. East to southeast winds - the offshore quadrant for La Graviere - account for roughly 27% of the wind observations, and when a cold continental high locks in, the surf can be immaculate: long-period WNW groundswell with lined-up sandbanks and offshore texture. Air temperatures average 7.3°C, water drops to 12.0°C, and frequent rain events (3.01 mm/day) keep the beach fresh. The main negative is the constant need to time the weather windows - frontal passages can quickly clock winds to the W and WNW and turn the lineup onshore.
