Conditions at Falasarna in February
February: Rain-Filled Westerly Windows
February stays locked in the winter pattern, with an average swell height of 1.4m (4.5-5ft) and an average period of 6.5s. The W swell window remains the engine room, delivering 17.5 percent of all wave energy from the west and another 22 percent from the WSW/WNW sectors combined. This is a month of relentless Mediterranean lows rolling across the basin; when they stall west of Crete, Falasarna can light up with walled, rippable lefts and rights. The caveat is the wind - just 13 percent of conditions are truly ideal. NNE and NE flows dominate (13.4 and 13.7 percent respectively), often producing a workable cross-offshore texture, but the risk of WSW/W onshore winds is high. With water at 15.7°C and air temps averaging 11.3°C, February is still decidedly winter. Expect cold fronts, rain (3.2mm/day), and a need to pick your sessions around the low-pressure windows.
