Conditions at Porth Neigwl in February
February: Still Throwing Heavy Atlantic Punches
February remains deep in the heart of the winter season. Average swell is 8ft (2.4m) with an 11.7s period, and the waverose again shows W (19.3%) and WSW (13.9%) leading the charge, with WNW (7.1%) and SW (5.3%) adding backup. The result is a lot of powerful, long-period groundswell hitting the beach from the optimal directions. The catch is the wind: W/SW/WSW onshore winds still collectively dominate, and the ideal offshore E/SE flow only arrives 17% of the time. Positive phases of the NAO can really stack the odds against clean conditions, while negative NAO blocking patterns bring those cold, crisp offshore easterlies. On good days, expect solid 6-10ft faces and occasional bigger bombs. Air is the coldest of the year at 8.8°C, water 9.3°C, with 3.04mm/day precipitation.
