Conditions at Bakio in February
February: Peak Season Power
February doubles down on winter. The average swell is 2.0m (6.5ft) with a powerful 12.8s period, and the NW/NNW/WNW family dominates the entire wave rose. NW leads at 32.5 percent, WNW adds 20.3 percent and NNW contributes 12.2 percent, so there is almost always swell wrapping into the bay. The height distribution is well-stacked in the quality range: NW alone puts 10.9 percent of the month into the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) class and 8.4 percent into the 2-2.5m (6.5-8ft) class, with 1.1 percent above 2.5m (8ft). Ideal offshore south to southwest wind is present 27 percent of the time, with S and SSW each around 9.5 percent. The main threat to quality is the strong W/WNW sector, which can leave the surface lumpy. With air temperatures near 9.7°C, water at 12.7°C and persistent Atlantic frontal systems, February rewards the committed and expects a serious wetsuit.
