Conditions at Kvassheim in February
February: Maximum Cold, Maximum Power
February remains a heavy-hitter. Average swell height is 7ft (2.1m) and the period ticks up to 9.0s, giving the best average period of the year. The directional distribution still features a solid S/SSW/SW/WSW component near 20%, with W/WNW/NW swells filling in the background. The biggest x-factor is those longer-period WNW/NW lines: they can wrap into Kvassheim with size but are less organised than a straight SW groundswell. Offshore wind consistency improves slightly to 20%, though ESE/SE combined around 23% and NNW/NW flows again dominate the wind rose. Cold air dominates too, with an average of 2.1°C (min -12.0, max 8.1), while water temperature falls to its annual low of 5.0°C. Precipitation sits at 5.37 mm/day. February often brings stable high pressure over Scandinavia, which means icy offshore winds and groomed, barrelling beach breaks.
