Conditions at Lido di Ostia in February
February: Winter Coholds With a Chilly Grip
February remains a solid month for surf at Lido di Ostia, with average heights hanging onto the 3ft (1m) mark and periods steady at 5.5s. The western quadrant waves continue to dominate: WSW generates 15% of the swell, W another 11%, and the combined westerly window (SW through WNW) delivers about 39% of the total. Winds, however, are a little more confused than in January. The NE/ENE/E/ESE offshore directions still combine for about 23% of the wind, but onshore components from the SW/W/WNW grow to 18%, bringing more bumpy days. The ideal wind ratio falls to 22%, still respectable. Sea surface temperature drops to its annual minimum of 12.8°C, while air temps average 7.5°C with dips below freezing - an Arctic-chic session awaits those willing to brave the cold. When a Levante wind blows over a fresh WSW swell, the outer sandbars can hold fun, rippable 2-4ft (0.6-1.2m) waves.
