Conditions at Tafedna in February
February: Midwinter Muscle
February is essentially a continuation of January's intensity. The average swell height remains around 7-8ft (2.2-2.4m), the period 12.9s, and ideal wind is 57%. Once again NNW (32.0%) and NW (24.1%) dominate the direction tables, but the swell is long and powerful enough to push through the bay. NNE wind (22.3%) and NE flow (13.9%) line up as offshore and cross-offshore wind, keeping conditions clean between Atlantic frontal systems. Precipitation is a bit higher than January at 1.08mm/day, and water/air temps hover near 16.7°C and 15.9°C. Look for the post-frontal E/NE window: those are the days Tafedna truly fires.
