Conditions at Il Bunker in February
February: Offshore Winds and Consistent Short-Period Swell
February keeps winter's momentum with an average swell height of 3ft (0.9m) and an average period of 5.0s. Swell energy from S/SSW/SW remains generous at around 31%, with SSE adding another 9.4%. The wind regime becomes even more favourable from an offshore standpoint: NNE, NE, NNW and N combine for over 42% of the wind distribution, and ideal surf windows are rated at 20% of the time. These northeasterly flows - often reinforced by a Mistral surge or outflow from the Po Valley - groom the SSW-facing lines and keep the surface clean. Air temperatures stay cool at 9.9°C, water dips to 12.7°C, and rainfall increases slightly to 2.23mm/day. A wetsuit, booties and patience are the deal; when a 1-1.5m SSW/SW swell hits under NNE offshores, Il Bunker works well.
