Conditions at Hustadvika in February
February: Still Heavy, Still Consistent
February is the quiet definition of consistency. Average swell height is 2.1m (6.9ft), period remains at 11.9s, and 41% of winds are ideal. The wave rose is nearly as full as January: W leads at 19.8%, followed by WSW at 14.1%, NNW at 13.5%, WNW at 10.1% and NW at 9.8%. In other words, the optimal W-NNW window still makes up well over half of the swell. Long-period groundswell from North Atlantic lows is the norm, and with the water temperature dropping to 5.6°C and air temperatures averaging just 2.4°C, this is proper cold-water surf territory. Precipitation is frequent (4.97mm/day) and can fall as snow, but the mix of solid swell and occasional E/ESE/SE/SSE offshore flow keeps the region viable for dedicated surfers. If a negative NAO pattern brings a high-pressure block over Scandinavia, February can produce surprisingly clean, cold, glassy days wedged between winter storms.
