Conditions at Tapia de Casariego in February
February: Gritty, Powerful and Consistent
February is a continuation of January's relentless rhythm, with the average swell holding at 5.6ft (1.7m) and the period remaining an impressive 12.5 seconds. NW pulses dominate once again, contributing 32.9% of the swell, while NNW (21.3%) and WNW (15.0%) keep the exposure fully lit. The biggest difference from January is a slight drop in clean wind days - 48% of the time the wind comes out of the SSW (15.0%), SW (14.2%), S (9.0%) and WSW (8.6%) quadrants, keeping the lineup relatively protected from the onshore easterly and northerly flows that make up the rest. The energy is spread across the 3-6ft (1-2m) range, with a healthy 7.3% of NW waves reaching 6.6-8.2ft (2-2.5m). Water temp dips to 13.0°C and air temps hover near 8.6°C, so it's still full winter rubber. February is for surfers who like their waves raw, thumping and consistent.
