Conditions at Puerto Escondido in February
February: Building SSW Energy
February delivers a similar average size to January, with swell heights around 4ft (1.2m) and a slightly longer period of 13.3 seconds. The real shift is in direction: SSW swell jumps to 40.1 percent and SW jumps to 23.7 percent, while S contributes another 13.5 percent. That means more of the open ocean energy is aimed directly at the beach. Wave heights still sit mostly in the 1-1.5m range, but there are a few more pulses in the 1.5-2m band, giving the more exposed sandbars some extra push.
Wind consistency is a bit lower in February, with ideal offshore conditions only 24 percent of the time. The dominant directions are WNW at 17.7 percent, NW at 17.5 and NNW at 12.1, which can offer cross-offshore texture, but WSW and W flow combine near 18 percent and can sully the surface. The month remains dry with 0.07 mm/day of precipitation, air temperatures near 22.4°C and a warm 27.5°C water temp, so a good February SSW swell is well worth chasing.
