Conditions at Camacho in February
February: Summer Slick with a SE Pulse
Average swell holds at 5ft (1.5m) and the period creeps up only slightly to 8.5s. The wave rose is almost identical to January, but the SE/SSE/S component becomes a little more important - SE and SSE alone combine for 29.9% of the spectrum, pushing total swell from favored directions to about 38%. E/ENE/ESE still dominate, so expect periods of decent 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) beach break mixed with sections of groveling closeouts. The 30% ideal wind count is a slight improvement, with NNE breezes blowing 19.5% of the time.
February remains wet and humid, with 25.1°C air and 24.0°C water. The NE trade wind is still the most frequent wind direction at 21.5%, and the onshore SSW/SW component can kick up when summer thunderstorms drift through. Keep expectations in check, but a late-season frontal pulse from the S or SSW can produce the first real taste of Camacho's potential.
