Conditions at Molhe Leste in February
February: Winter's Last Stand
February rarely eases off in the North Atlantic. Average swell remains 2.7m (9ft) with a 13.0s period, and the NW/WNW sector dominates once more. Although a pure SW swell is less common, the W component is enough to keep Molhe Leste solid, especially as Atlantic low pressure funnels energy into the Iberian coast. Offshore wind potential remains high: NNW winds blow 18.9% of the time and N-NNE add another 16.4%, giving plenty of clean, groomed sessions. With water at 14.0°C and air around 12°C, it is still winter rubber territory.
