Conditions at Rio de Coyula in February
February: Building South Swell
February marks a clear shift as SSW energy becomes more dominant. The average wave height edges up to just over 4ft (1.3m) and the period lengthens to 12.7s - long enough to produce powerful lines. SSW alone contributes 37 percent of all swell observations, and if you add S at 15 percent and SW at 16 percent, nearly 68 percent of the swell window is coming from the favourable south-to-west arc. The punchier 1-1.5m and 1.5-2m classes are filled by SSW/SW swell, so quality should be noticeably better than January.
The wind regime remains favourable overall, with ideal conditions 53 percent of the time. WNW, NW and NNW winds remain prominent and light, while the SW/WSW onshore component starts to show more energy in the 10-20kph bracket. Rain is minimal at 0.06mm/day, air sits at 27.6°C and water temperature is 27.0°C. It is still a relatively dry, warm winter month with surf on the rise.
