Conditions at Porto Katsiki in February
February: Wet and Wild Storm Windows
February remains in the prime winter window, with a slightly lower average swell height of 3ft (0.9m) and the same short-period character at 5.4s. The favorable S/SSW/SW sector accounts for 23.8% of the directional energy, and there is more SSE/SE energy than in January as lows track unusually far southeast across the Ionian. NW and WSW remain the directional bosses, contributing 20.6% and 12.7% respectively, but the WSW energy can at least push into the beach with a slight side angle. Ideal offshore wind blows 19% of the time, with N/NNE/NE/NNW totals more evenly spread; however, onshore southerly and southwesterly winds are also prominent during approaching low-pressure systems. The wettest background continues with 3.2mm/day of rain, air temperatures around 12.1°C and water slightly cooler at 15.1°C. The best days are the post-frontal intervals when the wind swings north, the sky clears and short-period SW swell is still pulsing at 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m).
