Conditions at Gruissan in February
February: Building Easterly Energy
February mirrors January's averages, with 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) surf and a 5.2s period, but the mix shifts slightly more to the east. E/ESE/SE/SSE swells account for over 28% of the wave rose, and the ESE/SSE sectors show more sizeable 5-8ft (1.5-2.5m) energy than January. This is classic late-winter Mediterranean storm behaviour: low pressure forms or deepens in the western Med and sends a pulse of short-period swell toward the Languedoc coast. Ideal wind drops to 21%, making quality harder to lock in. WNW still dominates the wind rose at over 40%, often blowing 20-40kph, so groomed conditions are brief. Water temps fall to their yearly low of 11.7°C, air temps hover near 8.2°C, and rain averages 1.37 mm/day. Persistence pays off when the synoptic pattern aligns.
