Conditions at Uliss in February
February: More Frigid NW Wind in a Low-Energy Sea
February is a carbon copy of January's poor surf, only colder. The average swell height drops slightly to around 2.3ft (0.7m), with an average period of 4.9s, so expect wind-driven, short-period chop. NNW winds dominate at 43.5%, and N winds make up another 10.4%, keeping the offshore quadrant present over 65% of the time. Swell direction is again dominated by NNW (32.6%) and N (11.3%), meaning the fetch is blowing away from the coast. There is a modest increase in southern swell, with SSW at 13.3% and S at 9.0%, but those waves are almost all in the 1.5-3.3ft (0.5-1m) class, with nothing over 5ft (1.5m). Water temp falls to -1.2°C, and with air temps averaging -6.7°C, the cold is unforgiving. Ideal surf remains 4%. February is for the hardcore only.
