Conditions at Somo in February
February: Reliable North Atlantic Power
February mirrors January with an average swell of 7ft (2.1m) and an average period of 12.8s. NW swell remains dominant at 35.4%, followed by WNW 18.5% and NNW 13.7%, meaning Somo's north-facing banks are continuously energized. Many waves fall into the 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) window, and there is still a real chance of XL days. The ideal wind percentage drops slightly to 47%, and northwesterly wind events become a bit more frequent as frontal systems roll through. When S and SSW winds dominate, the surface can stay remarkably clean even at peak size. With air temps averaging 9.5°C, rain at 3.03mm/day, and water temp at 12.9°C - the coolest of the year - the February surfer is rewarded with the most reliable big-wave windows of the season.
