Conditions at Rodiles in February
February: Consistency Through the Storm Track
February gives January a run for its money. Average swell is still around 6ft (1.8m) and the average period remains at 12.6 seconds, so the Atlantic is still delivering long-period groundswell to this north-facing beach. Northwest and north-northwest swells dominate again, with WNW waves supplying a solid secondary contribution. Clean 3-6ft (1-2m) surf is the bread and butter, while the best swells push into the 6-8ft (2-2.5m) range. The wind is ideal 51% of the time, slightly less than January but still excellent by Rodiles standards. The main challenge is the frequency of W/NW winds in the wake of the same winter lows that generate the swell. When the wind rotates to the offshore S/SSW/SW quadrant, Rodiles handles the NW groundswell beautifully. Water temperature drops to 12.9°C, air temperatures hover near 9.1°C, and precipitation runs 2.67mm/day-cold, changeable, and primed.
