Conditions at Cabo do Mundo in February
February: Consistent Winter Groundswell
February is very similar to January, with the average swell at 8ft (2.5m) and the average period still locked in at a powerful 12.8s. The swell directions are again dominated by WNW and NW, which together account for over 40% of the observations, while W and NNW fill in the gaps. Wave heights are solidly distributed between 1.5m and 2.5m (5-8ft), with occasional larger pulses tipping into the heavy category. The wind is ideal 44% of the time, with offshore E, ENE, ESE and SE flow providing the clean windows. NNW is still the most frequent individual wind direction at 14.6%, which means there is a real battle between storm-track groundswell and the onshore flow that often accompanies it. Water temperature drops to 13.2°C, so winter rubber is essential, but February rewards the committed surfer with some of the most consistent swell of the year.
