Conditions at Campelo in February
February: Cold Steel and Deep Groundswell
February keeps Campelo firmly in the heart of the northern winter. Average swell heights remain at a heavy 9-10ft (2.7-3.0m) with 12.8s on the clock, and the same WNW-NW combo does the heavy lifting: WNW 13%, NW 12% and NNW 8.3%. There is plenty of energy in the 1.5-2.5m range, with a healthy slice of 2.5m-plus waves, especially from the NW direction. The wind regime is a split personality: ENE flow (13.1%) and NE winds (8.3%) create bumpy, cross conditions, but SSW (11.8%) and SW/WSW (9.5% and 8%) combine for offshore windows around 32% of the time. With air temps at 8.9°C and the water as cold as 13.0°C, conditions are raw; surfers who pick the southerly wind windows will find some of the most powerful, best-shaped waves of the season.
