Conditions at Ofir in February
February: Still Deep in the Grind
February follows closely on January's heels, averaging 2.6m (8.5ft) of swell at a powerful 12.6-second period. The dominant swell directions are nearly identical to midwinter norm: WNW at 18.8%, NW at 16.3%, W at 6.8%, and WSW at 2.0%. The bulk of the waves sit in the 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) class, with overhead-plus sets coming out of the WNW and NW whenever the Atlantic lows line up. This is no time for a small-wave board.
Wind becomes slightly less cooperative than January, with ideal surf conditions running at 47% of the time. The dominant wind is NNW at 14.9%, but a strong easterly component remains - E at 9.1%, ENE at 6.9%, ESE at 5.5% - offering plenty of clean, offshore windows in between frontal passages. The trick in February is reading the pressure gradient: high pressure to the north and east means offshore ENE/E winds; a deep low to the west means onshore WNW/NW wind and stormy, lumpy conditions. Water temperature drops slightly to 13.0°C, air averages 10.1°C, and precipitation eases to 3.2mm/day.
