Conditions at Praia Azul in February
February: Cold, Clean and Consistent
February rarely lets up. The average swell height remains around 8-9ft (2.4-2.6m) and the average period of 12.6s keeps the ocean organized and powerful. WNW and NW swells dominate the signal, with NNW and W energy adding plenty of size. The 2-2.5m class is the most stacked bucket, meaning consistent head-high to well-overhead surf. The wind story is still mostly good: a high-pressure ridge over continental Europe supplies offshore ENE/E/ESE/SE wind 43% of the time, although NNW flow also becomes more common as the month wears on. Water temperature dips to 13.1°C and air temps hover near 10.1°C, so February is for the committed. When the wind is offshore and the swell is from the W/NW quadrant, Praia Azul is one of the most powerful stretches on the Estremadura coast.
