Conditions at Playa del Castillo in February
February: Consistency in the Depth of Winter
February holds the line with another 7ft (2.2m) average swell height and 12.5s periods. The NNW remains the dominant swell direction at 33.9%, with a healthy NW contribution of 19.0%; WNW checks in at 4.8%, giving the spot its occasional ideal-angle window. Ideal wind drops slightly to 24%, as northeasterly flow-NNE at 25.1% and NE at 21.9%-tightens its grip, but there are still enough well-spaced, long-period NW lines to justify more than a few sessions. The ocean is still churning with late-winter Atlantic lows and water temperature cools to 18.1°C. Air temperatures hover around 17.5°C with 0.48mm/day of rain, so expect classic, crisp mid-winter surf days when the charts align.
