Conditions at Tullan Strand in February
February: Peak Cold-Water Power
February keeps Tullan locked into peak winter mode. Average wave heights are still solid at 5-6ft (1.6-1.7m) and the period remains a healthy 12.6s, so the Atlantic is still serving long-period, powerful groundswell. The swell rose is again dominated by WNW (28%) and W (22%), with a notable amount of 6-8ft (2-2.5m) energy from the west-northwest. The offshore wind score is 28%, and light ENE through SE winds are the key to finding Tullan clean; when they align, the takeoff zones line up and the waves have real push. Water temperature dips to 8.3°C, air temperatures hover near 4.6°C, and 3.92mm/day of precipitation means you will need to work around passing Atlantic fronts. This is still prime time, and the focus should be on chasing the windows whenever the wind goes easterly.
