Conditions at Parlementia in February
February: Consistent Power and Cold Water
February mirrors January's intensity, with an average swell height of 1.8m (6ft) and an average period of 12.9s. The swell distribution is nearly identical to January: WNW dominates at 41.2%, NW at 33.5%, and NNW at 5.1%, giving a solid 79.8% in the optimal quadrant. The 1.5-2m and 2-2.5m size classes combined account for over 20% of the time, so Parlementia is regularly holding solid, head-high to double-overhead sets. The wind statistics show ideal offshore winds 44% of the time, with the S/SSW/SSE sectors comprising 25.8% of the total wind distribution. However, W and WSW winds - onshore directions for an exposed NW-facing beach - also make up a significant portion (10.8% and 5.9% respectively). The key to scoring February is to catch the days when a high-pressure cell pushes the wind offshore into the SSW. Air temperatures are cold, averaging 9.0°C, while the ocean sits at 12.1°C. Expect classic, powerful winter swell with 1.5-2m (5-6ft) + waves and occasional bigger days when the Atlantic puts on a show.
