Conditions at Gibara in February
February: Peak Trade Winds, Same Onshore Bias
February closely mirrors January: average swell height is 1.2m (4ft), wave period is 6.1s, and ideal wind still sits at 7%. The wave direction distribution is even more locked into the east, with E contributing 45.3% and ENE another 28.2%, plus NE at 9.8%. This is ideal swell angle for Gibara's east-facing shore, but the wind is also more easterly than any other month - E blows 34.1% and ENE 25.5% of the time. The result is a lot of bumpy, windblown surf with occasional lined-up walls only in the early morning or during a west-wind swing on the backside of a cold front. The water temperature drops slightly to 25.5°C, air temperatures stay pleasant at 24.7°C, and precipitation remains low at 0.87 mm/day.
