Conditions at Praia da Macumba in February
February: Slightly More Clean-Surf Windows
February is a near carbon copy of January in size but with a noticeable improvement in wind consistency, as ideal surf wind climbs to 51%. Average swell height remains 0.9m (3ft) and the period nudges up to 9.9s. SSE swells dominate (30.6%), with S (25.7%) and SE (23.4%) also well represented; the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) range is by far the most common. There's a touch more 1-1.5m (3-5ft) energy from the SSE/S direction than in January, but the overall picture is still small summer surf. The NE/ENE trade winds are lighter than in many months, and when the N/NNW offshore kicks in during the early hours, the faces clean up nicely. Water temp is 22.7°C, air 25.9°C, and precipitation remains high at 6.4mm/day - but the morning surfs often beat the afternoon showers.
