Conditions at Kilcummin in February
February: Still Full and Firing
February is a carbon copy of January in many ways. Average swell remains high at 1.8m (6ft), the mean period holds at 12.7s, and the bulk of the energy arrives from W (25.4 per cent) and WNW (22.8 per cent). The NW sector adds 8.4 per cent, with NNW and N contributing a further 3.2 and 0.4 per cent respectively, so the optimal N-NNW-NW quadrant accounts for about 12 per cent. The height distribution is still loaded with 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) waves, especially from W and WNW, making Kilcummin a solid winter wave. Ideal wind remains at 34 per cent, and the S-SSW-SW offshore directions total about 30 per cent of the wind rose, meaning there are frequent opportunities for clean, groomed conditions. Air temperatures stay cold at 7.0°C, precipitation is 4.39mm/day, and water temp is 8.1°C. The Atlantic is still in full winter mode - bring all the rubber and pick the S/SW windows.
