February: Winter Holding Pattern
February looks very similar to January on paper: 0.9m (3ft) average swell, a 5.0s period and 21% ideal wind. SW and WSW remain the primary swell directions at 13.2% and 11.8%, while S and SSW contribute another 18.2%. The biggest improvement is the higher share of 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) readings from the SW/WSW window - about 3.2% of the total - and the presence of 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) swells (1.5%) on the more active winter days. The wind rose is still dominated by NNE (13.9%) and NE (11.4%), which keep the beach reasonably groomed for a fickle Mediterranean break. Air temperatures remain cool (9.9°C average) and the water has cooled to 12.7°C (54.9°F), the coldest of the year. The occasional bigger southwesterly swell can give Il Castello real power, but short periods keep it more about punch than perfection.
