Conditions at La Saladita in February
February: More of the Same with a Touch More Punch
February keeps La Saladita in a similar groove: average swell height 4ft (1.2m) and period 13.5s. The direction profile shifts even more solidly into the SW (43.6%) and WSW (33.3%) window, with SSW (11.1%) and W (11.4%) filling out the spectrum. The 1-1.5m (3-5ft) range is the biggest bucket, especially for SW and WSW, so expect consistent, rippable walls rather than slabs of consequence. A handful of W pulses can push into the 1.5-2m (5-6ft) range and deliver longer-period energy.
Ideal wind drops slightly to 34%, while WSW (13.9%) and SW (11.9%) are the most frequent individual wind directions. This means onshore and textured conditions are common, especially in the afternoon. However, when you line up a morning with NNE or NE offshore flow, the west-facing setup can produce clean, glassy surf. Weather stays dry and warm: average air temperature 25.3°C, water temperature 27.6°C, precipitation only 0.30 mm/day. February rewards patience and an early paddle.
