Conditions at Playa Langosta in February
February: Building South Swell
February follows January's playbook but with a subtle morph in the swell. SSW (19.4%) and SW (20.5%) energy now lead the charge, while NW/NNW pulses continue to deliver the occasional north-swells of the winter North Pacific. Periods stretch to an average of 12.3s, and the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) band remains the workhorse, though 1.5-2m (4.9-6.6ft) waves are never far away. Trades still dominate - NE and ENE combine for 82% of all wind readings at 10-30kph - keeping conditions clean and groomed. The ideal wind drops slightly to 56%, a sign of lighter patches, but with nearly no rain (0.09mm/day) and SST at 27.8°C, February delivers some of the most consistent offshore surf of the season.
