Conditions at Andran in February
February: Winter at Full Throttle
February matches January's raw output. The average swell holds at 1.9m (6ft) and the period remains at 12.7s, so long-period Atlantic lines keep marching through the Bay of Biscay. The swell direction is slightly more NNW-weighted than January: NW still leads with 37% of recorded swell, but NNW jumps to 18% and WNW adds another 15%. This subtle shift can give Andran more north energy and often a bit more raw power on the paddle-out.
Ideal winds are available 39% of the time, down only slightly from January, and offshore blows from the S/SSW/SW/WSW quadrant are still a regular feature of passing low-pressure systems. W and WNW winds are common in the colder months and can make the surface textured, so timing is crucial. Water temperature falls to 12.9°C, air temperatures remain at 9.4°C, and precipitation averages 2.96mm/day - winter is fully in control.
