Conditions at Les Culs Nuls in February
February: Consistent Winter Grind
February brings much the same formula as January: consistent, powerful, cold and always interesting. Average swell height holds at 5-6ft (1.8m), period remains a meaty 12.9s, and the wind is favorable 38% of the time, one of the highest scores of the year. The swell-direction roses are dominated by WNW (41%) and NW (34%), with a healthy share of 2m-plus (6ft+) sets. Wet and windy lows are still the norm, with precipitation around 3mm per day; water temperature drops to a cool 12.0°C while air averages 7.3°C. When a winter low stalls in the Bay of Biscay, expect onshore westerlies and messy conditions. But when the low tracks north and the pressure gradient tilts, the offshore east flow lines up, turning the powerful NW swell into some of the best, most hollow surf of the season.
