Conditions at Supertubos in February

February: Still Heavy, Still Consistent

The North Atlantic shows little mercy in February, with an average swell height of 8.9ft (2.7m) and a lengthy 13.0s period. Swell directions remain optimum: NW (17.3%), WNW (15.8%), and NNW (11.9%) dominate, with a healthy share of W (4.3%) mixed in. The energy is mostly concentrated in the 1.5m to 2.5m range, but the >2.5m class still appears frequently, especially from the W and WNW. This is Supertubos at its grinding best - thick, fast barrels and heavy closeouts that demand respect. The wind is offshore 41% of the time, with the NE/ENE/E/ESE quadrant contributing a solid combined 24.5% of the wind distribution. Occasional lows deliver the dreaded SW to WSW onshore flow, but when the pressure gradient slackens, brilliant easterly offshores lay the lines down. With air temperatures around 12.3°C and water at 14.0°C, February is prime time for dedicated chargers.
