Conditions at Cabedelo de Viana in February
February: Peak Season Consistency
February doubles down on winter: 2.6m (8.5ft) average swell, 12.6s period, and the same WNW/NW-heavy swell rose as January. The key difference is a slightly higher chance of clean windows, with 53 percent ideal wind. Offshore N-NNE flow is common, and the long-period groundswell from the North Atlantic runs all the way down the Portuguese coast into this southwest-facing estuary mouth. Wave heights in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) class dominate, and a significant chunk sits above 2.5m (8ft), so be ready for a heavy sandbar when the banks align. Air temperatures are still cool at around 10°C, rain is slightly less than January, and water temperature sits at 13.0°C. If you only chase one winter month in northern Portugal, February often rewards patience with equal doses of size and offshore wind.
