Conditions at Mullaghmore Head in February
February: Deep-Winter Consistency
February is just as heavy as January, with an average swell of 5-6ft (1.7m) and a long 12.6s period. The swell window is dominated by WNW (28%) and W (22%), with another 16% from NW/NNW. These directions are ideal for generating thick, organised lines at Mullaghmore when they crack through to the coast. The period remains in the 12.6s range, making most of those waves powerful and capable of drawing a lot of water across the reef. Wind statistics show a balanced westerly-to-southerly flow: S/SSW/SW account for roughly 29% of the wind, and WSW adds another 10%, meaning offshore and cross-offshore wind days are fairly frequent; ideal wind windows sit at 31 percent. Air temperatures bottom out near 6.6°C with water at 8.1°C, and rainfall remains high. In short, February offers the same big-wave potential as January, with a slight shift toward slightly lighter winds but no letup in Atlantic power.
