Conditions at Porzcarn in February
February: Winter's Full Force
February is the statistical twin of January in many ways. Average swell height is 7ft (2.1m), the period stays at a very respectable 12.0s, and the ideal-wind percentage ticks up slightly to 18%. The swell window is again dominated by W (25.4%), WNW (17.8%) and WSW (10.3%) directions, with a solid lump of 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) energy arriving from those directions. The ocean is the chilliest of the year at 10.0°C, giving North Atlantic lows plenty of room to grow. Wind-wise, the offshore ENE-E-ESE/SE quadrant represents a larger slice of the pie than in January, but the onshore W-NW sector still outguns it. Mid-winter storms often stack up in the Bay of Biscay, bringing rain and fresh onshore winds. If you can catch the tail end of a front as winds clock offshore, Porzcarn will be firing with thick, long-period walls. Expect cold air around 7.8°C and precipitation averaging 3.06 mm/day.
