Conditions at Boca Barranca in February
February: Barely More than a Blip
February follows the same dry-season recipe, with the average swell height nudging up to 0.3m (1ft) and the period improving to 11.8s. The swell distribution is still overwhelmingly SSW (45.8%) plus S (13.8%), leaving the favourable W/WNW/NW/WSW sector at just 1.9%. The most promising data point is a touch of 0.5-1m NE swell (0.9%), but it remains far too small and too directionally unfavourable to create a genuine session at this WNW-facing beach.
Winds are still in a NE trade pattern-NE (28.6%) and NNE (21.9%) combine for over half of the observations. Offshore ENE/E/ESE/SE flow is only 15.6%, and ideal surf wind is 0%. It is extremely dry (0.25 mm/day), with air temps around 27.9°C and water temp at 28.3°C, so the lack of surf is the only thing standing between you and a perfect beach day.
