Conditions at La Nord in February
February: Full Winter Force
February matches January in raw energy: average swell height remains at a powerful 6ft (1.8m) and the average period is 12.9s. WNW swell again leads the charge at 41%, with NW contributing another 34%, giving La Nord almost non-stop exposure to strong, long-period groundswell. A significant slice of the total distribution sits in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) range, which translates to pumping, heavy conditions on the sandbars. Ideal offshore winds improve to 38 percent, making this one of the most reliable deep-winter months for scoring clean sessions. The weather remains fully winter: air temperatures hover near 7.3°C, precipitation is 3.01 mm/day, and the water temperature drops to 12.0°C, the coldest of the year. When the east/southeast offshore wind meets that long-period WNW energy, La Nord is a serious, barrelling stretch of coast.
