Conditions at Vorupör in February
February: Midwinter Momentum with a Westerly Bias
February doesn't give up much ground to January. The average swell height remains a healthy 6ft (1.9m), the period holds at 7.4s, and the WNW direction actually becomes the single most dominant swell source, contributing 11.7% of all waves - more than any other month of the year. NW (7.3%) and NNW (2.8%) keep the good angles well represented, and the 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) band fills in nicely across the WNW and W sectors. The problem is that west-northwest winds (WNW 8.5%) and west winds (W 9.4%) pile up onshore, making the beach messy when the waves are biggest. Still, the ESE/SE/SSE/S offshore flow adds up to about 22-23%, and the 12% ideal-wind statistic means you have a realistic shot at a clean, firing session if you're willing to sit in the car park checking the wind axis. Cold southeasterly high-pressure setups over Scandinavia can produce glassy, lined-up surf in the 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m) range, often with crisp winter sunshine. Air temperature averages 3.2°C with water at 3.5°C - the coldest water of the year. The wise surfer brings two hoods and a thermos.
