Conditions at St. Laurent du Var in February
February: Cold Water, Clean Windows
February remains a solid winter surf month, with the same 2ft (0.6m) average swell but a slightly lower period of 5.4s. The SW and SSW sectors combine for 33.4% of all swell, while E and ENE together account for nearly 27% of the wave energy, much of it short-period and cross-shore. Only around 9% of the total swell reaches 1.5m or more, so this is still a spot built for grovelling on small, punchy Mediterranean waves.
The wind picture is similar to January: offshore N through E directions occur 31% of the time, but often light. W and WSW winds are a bit more common than in January, so check the pressure gradient before heading out. Water temperature drops to its annual minimum of 13.5°C, with average air temps of 10.5°C. On the right morning, with a NE offshore breeze and a SW swell, the beach can offer surprisingly clean, fun-sized lines.
