Conditions at Playa Camaronal in February
February: Longer Periods, Still No Power
February offers a marginal step up in period, with the average wave period stretching to 11.8s, but the average swell height remains at about 1ft (0.3m). The preferred S/SSE/SSW/SW window ticks in at a combined 68.4%, with SSW at 45.8% and S at 13.8%. Again, essentially all of that energy sits below 1.6ft (0.5m). The 1.6-3.3ft (0.5-1m) category is limited to a sliver of NE energy, around 0.9% of the total, which is the wrong direction for this south-facing lineup. Wind conditions are dominated by the dry-season trades, with NE at 24.6% and NNE at 14.5%. Rainfall is almost nonexistent at 0.12mm/day, air temperatures average 28.4°C and the water sits at a warm 28.2°C. Despite the cleaner surface, the ideal-wind statistic remains 0%, and the absence of real south-swell size keeps Camaronal in ankle-snapper territory.
