Conditions at Norderney in February
February: Still Full, Still Cold
February brings nearly identical energy to January - an average swell of 1.7m (5.6ft) on a 6.8s period - but with a slightly better angle: the NW and NNW swell sectors now combine for over 20% of all wave energy, with W/WNW/WSW making up another 25%. This is prime direction terrain for Norderney. Yet again, the wind is the great equaliser. The dominant surface flow comes from the southwest and west-southwest, putting the beach in a cross-onshore trough. Only 13% of the time does the wind swing into the offshore SE-S-SSW quadrant. When that happens, the north-northwest windswell lines up nicely along the sandbars, delivering clean, hollow lefts and rights in the head-high range. Water temperature drops to its yearly minimum of 4.6°C, and with air temperatures averaging 2.5°C, this is hardcore, winter-surfing territory. But the potential is real.
