Conditions at Sayulita in February
February: W and WNW Swell Continue, Wind Still Blocks
Similar to January, February delivers a solid 1.0m (3.3ft) average swell with an average period of 13.5s. The wave rose is split between W (43.6%) and WNW (41.3%), with WSW adding 11.1% and NW another 2.5%. This is still a favorable directional window for the north-facing beach, especially the WNW component. Over half of the total swell energy is 1m (3.3ft) or larger, including 2.4% of WNW swell in the 1.5-2m (4.9-6.6ft) range. The catch remains the wind. NNW (40.5%), N (16.8%), NNE (14.4%) and NW (14.6%) combine for over 85% of observations, leaving the ocean frequently wind-whipped. The offshore S/SSW/SW/WSW wind count is only around 3%. On the bright side, precipitation is minimal at 0.90mm/day, water temperature is 24.5 degrees C and the air is warm, so when a rare southern wind shift does come through, the empty lineup can be world-class.
