Conditions at Kastro Point in February
February: Still Cold, Still Punchy with Occasional Gems
February mirrors January in many ways. The average swell height remains at 0.7m (2.3ft), the period ticks down slightly to 5.8s, and the ideal offshore wind window appears 26% of the time. The south quadrant continues to deliver about 25% of the swell, with S (7.7%) and SSW (8.5%) leading the way. The dominant swell directions in the raw data are actually NW and SW-related, but for Kastro's orientation those are less useful; the S/SSW energy is the one that makes the point stand up. The wind distribution is dominated by ENE, E and ESE winds, which are not clean offshore directions. That means you need the northerly outbreaks between low-pressure systems to really make it good. Water temperature slips to its annual minimum of 14.8°C, while air averages 6.2°C and rain is steady at 3.44 mm/day. February is a solid high-end winter month - not quite as consistent as January, but still an excellent time to find waves if the wind alignment cooperates.
