Conditions at Murtosa in February
February: Firing Through the Short Month
February barely skips a beat after January, with the average swell easing only slightly to 2.5m (8.2ft) and the average period still holding at a strong 12.8s. The swell window is again led by WNW at 21.5% and NW at 18.8%, with W and WSW adding another 9% of similarly favorable energy. Most waves sit in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8.2ft) range, so Murtosa can be solidly pumping whenever the Atlantic lows line up. The wind regime remains favorable for a clean surface: the ideal-window frequency is 44%, and offshore ENE/ESE/E/SE winds make up a significant share of observations. NNW winds are still the most common individual direction at 16.5%, though, so patience is required between frontal passages. Air temperatures average 10.7°C, precipitation is 2.97 mm/day, and water temperature dips to 13.4°C, keeping winter rubber mandatory.
