Conditions at Cadiz in February
February: Consistency and Winter Cold
February remains firmly in the winter surf window. Swell height holds at 5ft (1.5m) and the period eases only slightly to 11.2 seconds, still a powerful, long-period groundswell. The dominant direction is again WNW at 38.3 per cent, followed by W at 16.4 per cent and NW at 8.7 per cent, so there is plenty of raw Atlantic juice for west-facing Cadiz. The swell distribution favors the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6ft (1.5-2m) classes, with a scattering of larger waves in the W and WNW sectors.
Winds turn a bit more Levante-influenced than January: ESE reaches 15.5 per cent and remains a major player, while NNW and NE breezes fill the gaps. Ideal wind windows drop slightly to 31 per cent, but when the offshore flow anchors the swell, the quality can be excellent. Water temp slides to 15.0°C, air sits near 12.9°C, and rainfall remains high at 2.16mm/day - still very much a wetsuit month in the Gulf of Cadiz.
