Conditions at Marinella in February
February: Consistent Late-Winter Ground Swell
February keeps winter energy live, with an average 6ft (1.8m) swell and a 12.9s period. The swell chart shows the same story as January but with even more consistency in the WNW/NW sectors: WNW 41.2%, NW 33.5%, roughly 75% of observations coming from those two sweet-spot directions. There is a robust bulk of 1-2.5m (3-8ft) waves and occasional bigger pulses over 2.5m (8ft), so the standout days are easily head-high to slightly overhead.
Ideal wind windows remain generous at 44%, with E/ESE/SE/SSE offshore directions holding the waves clean between Atlantic frontal passages. Water temperature drops to the annual minimum near 12.2°C, so warmth is scarce and a 4/3mm hooded suit is still essential. February is often a bit more settled than January, making it one of the most dependable months for scoring quality at Marinella.
