February: Cold Offshore Winds and Short-Period SW Swell
February mirrors January but with slightly less energy. Average swell height drops to 2-3ft (0.8m), period holds at 5.4s, and ideal wind frequency eases to 39%. SW swell remains the engine, piling up 28.1% of observations, with SSW adding another 12.7% and NNW swell at 12.7% as a secondary source. The S/SSW/SW window is the main attraction: those are the directions that wrap into Bogliasco's SSW-facing shoreline.
Offshore winds are still excellent. N (16.4%), NNE (18.3%) and NNW (15.2%) are the top wind directions, so a large share of the month offers clean, glassy mornings. With average air temperatures of 4.2°C, water at 13.7°C and occasional cold northerly outbreaks, the surf is winter-cold but dependable. Stick to the southwest pulses and you'll find the most rideable waves of the Ligurian winter.
