Conditions at Wangerooge in February
February: Cold Midwinter Power
February holds onto winter's momentum with an average swell of 4-5ft (1.4m) and a period of 6.4s. NW (13.4 percent), WNW (11.5 percent), W (11.0 percent) and WSW (9.3 percent) are the leading swell directions. NNW contributes 6.6 percent, but the true N/NNE/NE swells are small, so the beach is often looking at a mix of NW windswell rather than the clean N'ly groundswell that Wangerooge loves. Wind is heavily loaded from SW (11.4 percent), WSW (10.7 percent) and SSW (8.3 percent), with a fair amount of those blowing at 20-50kph, limiting clean sessions to 11 percent of the time. Water temperature drops to 3.9C, the coldest of the year, with average air temperatures around 3.1C. The good news is that cold continental air can create a dawn land breeze, and occasionally a morning S-SSW offshore flow makes the midwinter NW swell hold up well.
