Conditions at Praia da Cal in February
February: Slightly More Clean Windows, Same Summer Swell
February mirrors January - average 4-5ft (1.2-1.5m) with an 8.3s period delivering punchy, semi-muscled waves rather than long-period gems. E (21.5%), ESE (22.0%), SE (16.7%) and SSE (11.7%) remain the primary swell directions, though ENE (17.5%) is still a major player. The favorable wind dial does tick up to 37% - the best of the early summer months - as WNW (2.3%), NW (3.1%) and NNW (7.4%) develop slightly stronger light offshore pulses. Still, NE (16.3%) and ENE (13.0%) trades dominate the surface, and with water at 23.8°C and air at 22.6°C, the summer heat and 5.01 mm/day precipitation keep things soft and rippable more than heavy and hollow.
