Conditions at Lop Camping in February
February: Same Winter Power, More WSW Punch
February is nearly a carbon copy of January at the top end: average swell height remains 1.9m (6ft) and average wave period nudges up to 11.4s. The direction mix tilts even harder toward WSW, which accounts for 22.2 percent of all wave energy, while W adds 11.3 percent and WNW/NW/NNW supply another 17.3 percent. For a northwest-facing spot, the W and WNW swells are pure; the dominant WSW is slightly oblique but still pushes substantial, clean lines into the beach. Offshore winds continue to shine, with southeast winds at 28.9 percent, SSE at 12.0 percent and ESE at 8.8 percent, wrapping up another 64 percent ideal-wind month. The water is at its yearly minimum of 3.9C, with average air temperature at -0.8C, so frostbite management is a real skill. Precipitation averages 3.92 mm/day, often falling as snow. This is a heavy, serious midwinter month - thick wetsuits, reliable swell, near-perfect offshore wind and some of the best waves of the year.
