Conditions at Gilleleje Havn in February
February: Still Winter, Still Fickle
February holds on to winter but fades slightly from January's peak. Average swell height drops to about 1.5-2ft (0.5m) and average period slips to 4.0s, meaning the already weakly organised waves get even shorter and messier. The wind is ideal for surfing exactly 0 per cent of the time, a sobering starting point. Swell direction remains dominated by WSW, W and SW, with the favourable N-NNE-NE-NNW sector again under 20 per cent and nearly all of it below 1m. A bit more energy shows up in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range from W and WSW, but those are poor angles for the harbour. Wind flow is dominated by WSW, W and SW, with a meaningful chunk of N/NE winds around 16 per cent that will plaster the coast with onshore chop. Air temperatures average 0.6°C, precipitation runs about 1.9mm/day, and water temperature is at its yearly minimum of 2.2°C. When a high-pressure ridge settles in, the sea can turn to glass, but that also means no waves.
