Conditions at Arma di Taggia in February
February: Cold Water, Short-Period Hopes
February is similar to January but with a bit less juice. The average swell height remains 0.6m (2ft) and the period 5.5s, but ideal offshore wind drops slightly to 12%. Swell is once again anchored by SSW (25.3%) and SW (17.9%) directions, while direct-angle S/SSE/SE/ESE energy totals just under 25%. The peak sizes stay small - most S/SE events sit in the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) class - though a strong south-westerly fetch can occasionally produce 1-1.5m (3-5ft) swells; Arma's SSE orientation means this has to wrap into the bay. Water temperature drops to the coldest of the year at 13.4°C, with air temperatures averaging 6.8°C. Look for a strengthening Atlantic trough pulling cold air southeast across France; the resulting NW-to-N wind clears out the sea-breeze chop and gives those short S swell lines a much cleaner face.
