February: Heavy Hitter Month
February keeps the Atlantic in full roar. Swell averages 2.7m (8.9ft) at 13.0s, and the WNW/NW/NNW complex supplies the lion's share of energy - NW 17.3%, WNW 15.8%, NNW 11.9% - with the W direction adding another 4.3%. These long-period lines hit the exposed north-west-facing beach with serious power, producing heavy, firing sets in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) bracket. The NNW wind strengthens a bit, reaching 18.9%, but the offshore quadrant remains active enough to deliver a 29% chance of ideal surfing conditions. Water temperature drops slightly to 14.0°C, while the air stays cold and prone to passing fronts. February is a month for confident surfers looking for hollow, groundswell-driven waves.
