Conditions at Acapulquito in February
February: The First Sign of Life
February at Acapulquito is still small, but the quality begins to tick upward. Average swell height holds at 0.8m (2.6ft), while the average period jumps to a more powerful 12.8s and ideal wind improves to 75%. SSW swell becomes even more dominant, accounting for 53% of all wave energy, with S swell another 23%. Most waves remain in the fun-sized 0.5-1m (1.6-3.3ft) range, but there is a slightly better showing of 1-1.5m (3.3-5ft) SSW groundswell. The wind pattern shifts toward more WNW and NW flow, giving the beach a cleaner, more groomed surface. Sea temperature remains cool at 21.4°C, air temperature averages 21.0°C, and precipitation stays low at 0.29 mm/day. It is still a grovel-fest, but the longer periods mean a properly lined-up SSW swell can produce surprisingly fun waves for an east-facing nook.
