Conditions at Leja da Palmeira in February
February: Full-Bore Consistency
February doubles down on January's formula. The average swell height is 8ft (2.5m) and the period remains a meaty 12.8s, so the wave quality at Leja da Palmeira holds up through the heart of winter. WNW swell leads at 21.5 percent, followed closely by NW at 18.8 percent, while the W and NNW directions add another 15 percent of the wave energy. This is exactly the window direction range that works best on the west-facing beach. The ideal-wind percentage drops slightly to 44 percent, thanks to a stronger NNW presence, but the E, ESE, S and SSE offshore sectors remain well represented. When the pressure gradient tightens and a low rumbles across the North Atlantic, expect lined-up, grinding sets. Wet and cool conditions continue, with air temperatures averaging 10.8°C, water temperature at 13.2°C and rainfall at 3.16 mm/day. If there is a more consistent month for good surf at Leja, it is hard to name it.
