Conditions at La Chiesa in February
February: Cold Water, Consistent Windows
February is nearly a carbon copy of January on paper - 0.9m (3ft) average swell, 5.6s periods, and 27% ideal wind. The sea is at its coolest (13.6°C) while air temps average 10.6°C. Swell from WSW (13.9%) and W (16.8%) still leads, but SE/SSE/S/SSW combined supply around 31% of the energy, a slight uptick from January. The best surf emerges when a persistent NNW flow (12.6% total, with 5.1% in the crucial 10-20kt band) lines up with the southerly groundswell. Precipitation is roughly 2.64 mm/day, so keep an eye on rain squalls. February tends to be slightly more consistent than January because the sea is at its coldest, which often suppresses afternoon seabreeze intensity and leaves more of the day in clean, offshore morning conditions.
