Conditions at Laje da Jagua in February
February: Still Stuck in Summer Trades
February is very similar to January, with an average 1.5m (5ft) of swell and an 8.5s period. The swell distribution shifts slightly toward the SE/SSE/S directions, but the E-ESE-SE block still rules; E, ESE and SE alone total about 56% of the wave energy. The genuine S component improves to 7.8% and SSW adds another 0.5%, yet WSW/SW remains almost absent. The wind is still mostly the NE trade, with NE at 25.4%, NNE at 10.9% and ENE at 13.4%. The good news is that ideal surf wind ticks up to 27%, thanks to a slightly higher frequency of N/NW offshore windows. Water temperature stays warm at 23.7°C and air temperatures average 25.1°C, with frequent summer showers (5.29mm/day). Expect a fun but grovelly mix of E/SE windswell, some punchy 3-5ft (0.9-1.5m) peaks, and only occasional S/SW groundswell events.
