Conditions at Costa Azul in February
February: Clean Winds, Southern Bias
February carries over the winter dynamics, but the east-angled swell window tightens significantly. The 0.8m (2.5ft) average height comes almost entirely from SSW (53%) and S (23%) swells, while optimal ENE-ESE directions only produce about 2% of the spectrum. The bright side is the wind regime: the offshore quadrant (WNW, NW, W) continues to dominate, with ideal conditions 76% of the time. Long-period 12.8s groundswell rolls in, but its direction is simply not aligned with Costa Azul's ESE-facing orientation. Expect clean, lined-up southern hemi swells that lack the proper push to turn the sandbars on, leaving a lot of closeouts and sections. Sea surface temperature is 21.4°C, and air temps average 21.0°C. For the surfer seeking quality at this spot, February is best approached as a waiting game - the right east pulse can still sneak through on the tail end of a Gulf front, but such windows are brief.
