Conditions at Cidreira in February
February: Peak Summer, Trade-Wind Chop
February looks a lot like January on Cidreira's charts, but with a subtle uptick in consistency. Average swell height eases slightly to 4.9ft (1.5m), while the period ticks up to 8.3s. ENE (19.7%) and E (21.1%) remain the primary swell producers, with ESE (17.4%) and SE (14.2%) adding plenty of mid-period energy; the majority of waves sit in the 3-6.5ft (1-2m) range and there are a few extra 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) pulses in the SE/S quadrant. Winds remain locked in the summer pattern: NE (22.5%) and ENE (20.9%) dominate, and the ideal offshore flow is present only 17% of the time. Water temp edges up to 24.2°C, air temps average 24.2°C and rainfall is around 4.6mm/day. Expect warm, generally choppy surf; the standout days happen when a cold front sweeps far enough north to flip the wind into the WSW/WNW offshore quadrant and groom the abundant ENE/E swell.
