Conditions at Streedagh Strand in February
February: Still Deep, Slightly Refined
February remains firmly in the prime surf season at Streedagh Strand. The average swell height is 5.5ft (1.7m) and the average period holds at 12.6 seconds, so the Atlantic is still delivering serious, long-period groundswell. The WNW window dominates even more than in January with 28.3 percent of all swell coming from that direction; W adds another 22.1 percent and NW/NNW combine for around 16 percent. Most waves arrive in the 3-8ft (1-2.5m) range, and the bigger days can easily push toward 8ft+ (2.5m+).
Wind patterns remain mixed. The SE/SSE offshore sector is almost as common as the stormy SW/WSW onshore flow, which is why the ideal clean wind percentage sits at around 28 percent. The key is to wait for the low pressure to move off and the wind to back into the east or southeast. Then the period and size line up beautifully on the beach. Water temperature is at its annual coldest at 8.3°C, air temperatures average 6.6°C, and precipitation is persistent at 4.01 mm/day.
