Conditions at Juist in February
February: Cold, Chunky and Frustrating
February sits firmly in winter's grip. The average swell is 3.9ft (1.2m) with a 5.9s period, and the NNW/NW window continues to deliver, with NNW at 13.3% and NW at 11.9% of all wave observations. Small to moderate amounts of 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) energy roll in from the W and WNW, but the shorter period keeps the sea lumpy and disorganised. Wind is the limiting factor once again. SW and WSW directions are the leading wind sources, often at 20-30 and 30-40kph, and the ideal offshore sector only shows up 6% of the time. That means most days are cross-onshore or simply too blown out. Air temperatures remain cold at 3.0°C, water temperature drops to the annual minimum of 4.0°C, and precipitation averages 2.21 mm/day. For the dedicated crew, February is about finding the brief windows after a cold front, when northwesterly swell combines with a lighter southerly breeze before the next storm arrives.
