Conditions at Playas del Este in February
February: Consistent But Still Trade-Wind Dominated
February holds similar size to January with an average 1.1m (3.6ft) and 5.8s period. The N/NNW/NW swell share drops slightly to 22%, but there are still enough NNW and NW pulses to keep hope alive. The dominant story is the E/ENE swell at 51% and persistent E-ENE winds blowing at 10-30kph, which creates bumpy conditions on most days. When the wind does clock into the SE/S/SSW/SW offshore quadrant, the north-facing beach can clean up quickly and produce fun 3-4ft peaks. With 22% ideal wind time and slightly higher water temperature at 25.5°C, February is a solid option for patient surfers.
