Conditions at Kolibithra in February
February: The Deepest Winter Groove
February holds Kolibithra's highest average swell height of the year at 1.3m (4ft), with the same lumpy 5.4s average period. This month is defined by more frequent 2-2.5m (6-8ft) N and NNE swell classes, making it a prime time for the bay to feel real power. The N sector feeds 16.1% N, 14.6% NNE, 9.5% NNW and 2.1% NE, so a solid 42% of the directional spectrum is favourable. However, N/NNE/NE/NNW winds account for 45% of wind observations, and these are onshore at Kolibithra. The offshore S/SSE/SSW/SW group totals around 30%, but the ideal window stays scarce at 4%. Look for a passing low to shift winds to the south, and February can deliver the heaviest, most powerful waves of the winter. Water drops to 15.2°C and air temps stay at 12.5°C, so winter rubber is essential.
