Conditions at Moneglia in February
February: Mid-Winter Momentum
February looks a lot like January, with an average swell of 0.8m (2.6ft), a period of 5.7s and ideal offshore winds 23% of the time. SW still dominates at 31.3% of the spectrum, with WSW adding a further 11% and SSW around 8%. This is peak Ligurian winter, when Mediterranean lows in the Gulf of Genoa pump consistent S/SW energy toward the shore. The average period is short, but those 1-1.5m (3-5ft) windows show up more often in February than in most other months, especially when a strong cold front sharpens the pressure gradient. The ocean is at its coolest with the water temperature around 13.7°C and average air temps near 10.4°C. Keep a hood close by, be ready for rain days, and hunt for the post-frontal north winds that make Moneglia's SSW sandbars line up.
