February: Storm-Track Consistency
February delivers equally heavy conditions. The average surf height remains around 6-7ft (2.1m) and the period is again 12.1s, with the swell rose still dominated by W and WSW energy at 37% and 11% respectively. This is the heart of the winter window, when the North Atlantic storm track aims right at Cornwall. Ideal offshore winds from the east and southeast blow 23% of the time, frequently in the cold high-pressure wedges between systems. These winds keep the faces clean and cross-offshore, producing some of the most powerful waves of the year. But the W and WNW wind sectors also remain strong in the wind rose, so you often have to pick the windows. Water temperature drops to 9.0°C, air temperature to 7.5°C and precipitation averages 3.23mm/day.
