Conditions at Beliche in February

February: Mid-Winter Muscle

February remains locked in winter mode. Average swell height is 8ft (2.4m) and the period is 12.9s, so long-period groundswell continues to pulse out of the North Atlantic. The directional distribution leans heavily on NW (23.6%), WNW (16.8%) and NNW (11.4%), while true S/SW swell is scarce. At Beliche, the best sessions arrive when westerly or southwesterly component waves wrap into the SSW-facing bight and the wind sits in the N/NE quadrant. Ideal offshore winds drop slightly to 26 percent, however, and NNW winds become more dominant at 24.4 percent, often creating a cross/offshore texture that limits clean windows. Water temperature cools to its annual low around 15.3°C, with air temperature averaging 13.7°C and moderate rainfall around 1.79mm/day.
