Conditions at El Muro in February
February: More of the Same, Slightly Warmer
February is nearly a carbon copy of January: average swell of 5-6ft (1.6m), a 13.4-second period, and massive SW (55%) plus WSW (39.9%) groundswell charging into the west-facing beach. The 5-7ft (1.5-2m) class is the most common, so many sets are solid overhead. Yet the wind again blows from SSW, SW and WSW for the vast majority of the month, and the ideal offshore/easterly percentage rounds to zero. The waves will be powerful but often cross-onshore, with the best surface usually limited to the early morning before the thermal wind builds.
Water temperature peaks for the year at 15.3°C, air temps average 19.9°C, and rainfall is negligible at 0.02 mm/day.
