Conditions at Anchor Point in February
February: Still Full-Bore Winter
February is almost a carbon copy of January in terms of raw power. The average swell height remains 2.2m (7ft), the average period is a solid 13.0s, and ideal offshore wind conditions occur 61% of the time. The swell window is again dominated by NNW (32.7%) and NW (27.9%), with a smaller 7.6% contribution from the WNW. True W/SW pulses are scarce, but the winter storm track is still active enough to send consistent long-period groundswell toward Morocco. When the period stays above 12s and the wind is out of the E/ESE, Anchor Point can produce thick, hollow, right-hand walls from the wrap.
The wind data in February shows NNW at 24.3%, NW at 10.3% and E at 10.6%, with the onshore quadrant remaining below 9%. Water temperature dips to 16.9°C, air temperatures average 16.5°C, and rainfall ticks up slightly to 0.89 mm/day. It may be cool and occasionally wet, but this is still top-tier winter surf at Anchor Point.
