Conditions at Oualidia in February
February: Deep Winter Groundswell
February is a continuation of January's deep winter rhythm. Swell heights hold in the 6-8ft (1.8-2.4m) range, periods remain powerful at 13.0s, and the dominant directions are again NW (32%) and NNW (26%) with WNW (10%) supporting. The beach is consistently exposed to long, heavy Atlantic lines.
The tricky part is the wind. Ideal offshore conditions drop to 37%, as the northeast trades begin to strengthen and the Azores High starts to flex. NNE and NE winds combine for nearly 39% of the observations, so the southerly and southwesterly windows become all the more valuable. Still, those clean windows are frequent enough to give surfers plenty of quality sessions. Air temps nudge to 13.3°C, water temp cools to 16.9°C - the coldest of the year - and rainfall remains active at 1.53 mm/day.
