Conditions at Mitikas in February
February: Cold Water, Clean Lines
February keeps the same midwinter momentum, with average wave 2.3ft (0.7m), period 5.2s and ideal offshore wind 30 percent. The best swell directions remain well represented: NW 15.5%, WNW 12.8% and W 6.0% combine for a solid chunk of all wave energy, while the wind still blows from the easterly half of the compass most of the time - ENE 15.2%, E 16.8%, ESE 9.5%. The ocean is at its coldest, with water temperature around 14.9°C and air temperatures averaging 10.2°C, but the cold continental air often strengthens the offshore E/ENE flow, helping keep the short-period swell from degenerating into full chop. Add in 3.42mm/day of rainfall and you get classic Greek winter conditions: cool, stormy, and occasionally clean. This is another reliable window at Mitikas, so bring the hood and booties and pick your sessions carefully.
