Conditions at Marinaretti in February
February: Late-Winter Energy, Consistent Offshore Windows
February is nearly a twin of January. Average swell height is again around 3ft (0.9m), average period sits at 5.6s, and the 'ideal wind' score holds at 28%. The S/SSW/SW window now accounts for nearly 22% of the total swell directional distribution, with around 6.8% of the time producing waves above 3ft (1m) from those south/southwest directions. This remains the heart of the surf year.
Meteorologically, mid-latitude lows are still frequent across the Mediterranean. The offshore wind group N/NNE/NE/NNW totals about 30% of all observations, giving plenty of morning windows before the sea breeze develops. Water temperature reaches its annual minimum at 13.6°C, so the thick wetsuit is still mandatory. With 10.6°C air and 2.64mm/day of precipitation, the setup is classic Mediterranean winter: you endure the cold and rain for the clean, punchy windows between frontal systems.
