Conditions at Ngor Rights in February
February: Heavy Mid-Winter Swell, Straight In From the Deep
February is very similar to January, with the average swell holding at 1.8m (6ft) and period easing only slightly to 12.4s. The NNW direction is even more dominant, accounting for 81.0% of the total wave energy, with NW adding 10.3%. The bulk of the swell sits in the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range, and the long period gives the wave serious power and depth. On the wind side, N (31.1%) and NNE (33.7%) are the big players, and NNW winds also appear 19.4% of the time, so onshore and cross-shore conditions can quickly chop up the surface. Ideal offshore wind only arrives 3% of the time. Water temperature drops to a cool 19.8°C and air averages 20.7°C, making it one of the chillier months of the year along this stretch of Senegal.
