Conditions at Bundoran in February
February: Peak Season Power
February matches January's intensity with an average swell of 5-6ft (1.7m) and a long-period 12.6s interval. The W and WNW swell directions dominate even more strongly than in January, combining for over half of the total wave energy, and there is a healthy share of 1.5-2.5m surf - the pocket where Bundoran really starts to show its teeth. These are powerful, well-organized groundswells generated by the relentless winter lows tracking across the North Atlantic.
Ideal offshore flow runs at 28 percent, with the best windows arriving when high pressure builds over Britain and the flow comes from the east/southeast. Onshore westerlies are still common, but the occasional clean, cold, glassy day makes February a standout month for confident surfers. Air and water remain cold - around 4.6°C air and 8.1°C water - and rainfall averages near 3.9mm per day, so keep the good boards and warm rubber ready.
