Conditions at Sesimbra in February
February: Long-Period February
February is close to January's twin: average surf around 6ft (1.8m), period 12.9s, and 48% ideal wind. W/WNW/NW swells dominate again, with WNW at 33% and NW at 27% leading the charge. The S/SW quadrant remains the wild card; only about 2% of the total swell comes directly from S/SSW/SW, but those events are the ones to watch for at Sesimbra because they hit the beach head-on. Winds are clean from the N through NNE/NNW, with NNW strongest at 20% of the distribution. The water is still cool at 14.7°C and air temps average 13°C. Rain tapers slightly to 1.8mm/day, but the long-period swells keep pumping.
