February: The NE Swell Machine Keeps Pumping
February is nearly a twin of January, with average swell at around 5ft (1.6m) and period at 9.3s. The swell window remains locked on ENE (39%) and NE (22%), supported by a strong NNE component at 14%. This is one of the most consistent months of the year: the 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) range is extremely well represented across all the northern quadrants, and the percentage of 6.5-8ft (2-2.5m) waves remains elevated. The wind regime, however, is still dominated by the E (30%) and ESE (29%) trades, so the surface is frequently wind-affected. The wind is ideal for surfing only 9% of the time, but when a light SSW/SW/WSW/W breeze does blow, especially in the early morning, La Puntilla serves up clean, punchy lines. Water temp cools slightly to 26.0°C, air temps sit around 24.6°C, and precipitation is at its driest of the year at 1.09 mm/day.
