Conditions at Figueira Foz in February
February: Winter Power With Occasional Chaos
February continues the heavyweight season with an average swell of 2.4m (8ft) and a 13.0s period. The swell distribution is remarkably consistent, with WNW (24 percent) and NW (23 percent) sharing the load and W swells adding another 6 percent. These are long-period, powerful waves that can easily reach 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) plus on the sets. Wind becomes a little more variable than January, but the NE to ESE offshore flow is still solid, with ideal wind 46 percent of the time. The northern quadrant now sends more wind across the coast, with NNW at 17 percent, which can make conditions tricky between storm fronts. Air temperature averages 10.3°C, water sits at 13.7°C and precipitation is 2.64 mm/day. February rewards patience: when a low pressure system swings away and the east wind fills in, Figueira can be world-class.
