Conditions at Lagkouvardos in February
February: Winter Swell Still Firing
February remains deep in the surf season, with average wave heights near 3.5ft (1.0m) and periods holding at 6.4s. WSW swell is even more dominant than in January, accounting for 18.9% of all readings, while W (13.4%), WNW (12.9%) and NW (16.0%) fill out the background. The most favourable energy comes from the substantial block of WSW/W/WNW waves in the 3-6ft (1-2m) range, which appears whenever Mediterranean lows strengthen. Offshore wind windows drop slightly to 20%, and the prevailing NNW/NW flow is still a limiting factor. The ideal setup is a continental high pushing E/ESE winds while a low drifts south of Greece, wrapping west swell into the coast. Water temperature is near its annual minimum at 15.5°C, while air temperatures average 10.4°C with 2.74 mm/day of rain. On February days when the offshore wind flicks on and the west swell lines up, Lagkouvardos is easily one of the more consistent winter waves in the region.
