Conditions at Lagos in February
February: Storm Track Grip
February keeps the same intensity as January: average heights hold at 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) and the period remains 12.7s. The swell distribution is still led by WNW and NW, but WSW and SW groundswell becomes a bigger player during North Atlantic low-pressure passages, and those are the waves that truly light up Lagos' southeast exposure. NNW winds are the most frequent offshore breeze, though E and ESE winds also make a strong showing and can add unwanted texture to the face. Water temperature drops to the annual minimum of 15.4°C, air temps hover near 13.7°C, and precipitation ticks down slightly to 1.79mm/day. It is a raw, powerful month for the well-equipped surfer.
