Conditions at Mira in February
February: Heavy Lows, Long Periods and Looming Swell
February sits just as deep in the winter window. Average surf is still a solid 8ft (2.5m), average period is 12.8s, and the swell distribution is heavily loaded toward WNW (21.6 percent) and NW (19.9 percent). The beach constantly receives long-period groundswell from the North Atlantic, with most waves in the 1.5-2.5m range - heavy, powerful and capable of holding size. Wind is a little more northerly than January: NNW winds are the single most common direction at 17.1 percent, but the offshore E/SE quadrant still provides enough clean windows to keep the ideal-wind number at 44 percent. Water temp bottoms out at 13.6C (56F), air temps average 10.7C (51F), and rainfall is a bit lighter at 2.97mm/day. Keep an eye on the pressure charts for days when an Atlantic low drifts south and pulls in an easterly - that is when Mira really turns on.
