Conditions at Tywyn in February
February: Longer Periods, Still Plenty of Power
February follows a similar script to January, with average swell height easing slightly to 3.3ft (1.0m) but the average wave period lengthening to 8.7s - the highest of the year. That extra period gives the waves more push and a cleaner face when the wind allows. The swell window remains locked on WSW at 37.4 percent and SW at 22.8 percent, with W and WNW contributing another 15.3 percent. Around 15 percent of the month's observations reach 5ft (1.5m) or more, so the bigger winter sets are still very much on the table.
Wind conditions are a touch better than January, with ideal surfing conditions 12 percent of the time and a healthier spread of light easterly offshore winds. Still, SW and WSW winds combine with W and WNW to create onshore pollution 36 percent of the time. The air stays cold at 6.1°C, water temperature reaches its annual minimum of 7.3°C, and precipitation eases to 3.06 mm/day. February is a classic winter surf month for Tywyn: plenty of size, a little more period, and cold, crisp sessions when the wind squares up offshore.
