Conditions at Rhossili Bay in February
February: Big Swell, Cold Offshore Windows
February runs a near-twin of January, with average swell heights at 1.5m (4.9ft) and periods at 10.5s. WSW swell remains the dominant supplier at 40.9%, and the W/SW quadrant keeps producing consistent, powerful groundswell for the bay. The wind distribution shifts slightly, with a touch more offshore potential, about 10% ideal conditions, helped by a stronger NE-ENE component. The cold air, averaging 6.6°C with lows near -4.7°C, often clears the sky behind cold fronts, setting up crisp offshore N/NE flow and clean conditions between frontal passages. Rainfall is around 3.24 mm/day and water temperature drops to 7.9°C, so it is full winter rubber and hood territory. When the wind cooperates, February can offer some of the most classic, grinding sand-bottom peaks on the Gower coast.
