Conditions at Guarda do Embau in February
February: Late Summer, Slightly More SE Pulse
February remains in the low-season pattern, with an average swell height of 4ft (1.2m) and a period of 8.1s. The swell direction distribution shifts mildly toward the southeast: ESE leads at 24.5%, E follows at 23.5%, ENE at 19.6%, SE at 18.3% and SSE at 8.6%. It is still largely short-period E/ESE windswell, but the growth in SE energy is a hint that the South Atlantic is beginning to wake up.
NNE winds at 20.2% and NE winds at 11.6% still dominate the wind rose and keep the surface textured on the east-facing sandbars. Ideal offshore wind improves only to 20%, while water temperature peaks at 25.7°C with 23.8°C air and 6.30 mm/day of rain. Surfable, but plan for small, fun-sized 3-4ft (0.9-1.2m) waves with the occasional punchier 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) set from ESE/SE, often with lumpy texture.
