Conditions at Pichilemu in February
February: Late Summer Stability
February is a carbon copy of January's quality, but with a touch more southwest in the groundswell. The average swell height remains 1.6m (5.2ft) and the period lengthens slightly to 12.8s. WSW swell dominates at 72.7%, with 16.8% from the SW, so the mix is powerful and lined-up; nearly 53% of all waves arrive in the 1.5-2m (4.9-6.6ft) range. Offshore winds are ideal 69% of the time, driven by a strong S/SSW/SW flow pattern that keeps the north-facing coast clean and the wave faces lump-free. With the highest water temperature of the year at 14.1°C and only 0.16mm/day of rain, February is prime time for spending dawn-to-dusk in the water. Bring a hood for early sessions, but enjoy the most user-friendly conditions of the austral summer.
