Conditions at Sidi Moussa d'Aglou in February
February: Still Heavy, but a Hint of Drift
February remains deep in winter swell season. The average 7ft (2.1m) swell is unchanged, while the period eases only slightly to 12.9s, still long-period and powerful. North-northwest and northwest swells are evenly split at 34 and 31 percent respectively, with west-northwest adding almost 8 percent. The beach sees consistent head-high to well-overhead waves, and the majority of the energy is pushing through the optimum west-to-northwest window.
Winds, however, begin to shift. The offshore E/ESE/SE/SSE signal is still healthy at around 37 percent, but onshore northwesterlies increase to 43 percent, led by NNW and NW flow. Ideal conditions drop to 46 percent, meaning more sessions are tide and wind bound. The sea temperature cools to 16.9°C while air temperatures average 16.8°C. February still delivers excellent winter surf, but you have to pick your windows a little more carefully as the northern trades start to fight the Atlantic lows.
