Conditions at Mundaka in February
February: The Same Power, With a Touch More Precision
February mirrors January's intensity-average wave height is 6.5ft (2.0m), period 12.7s-but the wind distribution shifts subtly in Mundaka's favor. The NW swell machine remains dominant at 32.6%, with WNW adding 21.5% and NNW 11.5%; together the three best directions account for nearly 65% of all swell. That is a lot of raw, long-period energy hitting the north-facing coast. Heights are well spread from 3-8ft (1-2.5m), with occasional 8ft+ (2.5m+) bombs possible on the most powerful NW pulses.
Offshore wind is a little less concentrated than in January but still generous: SSW and S each make up about 9.5%, while SW contributes nearly 5%. This southern push, often generated by lows tracking across the Bay of Biscay, creates clean offshore texture on the wave face. WNW winds at 9.9% are the main enemy, shifting the surface onshore and compromising the wall. With ideal conditions 26% of the time, February is pure winter surf: cold air at 9.7°C, water temperature at 12.6°C, occasionally stormy, and absolutely fickle in the best possible way.
