February: Consistency at Full Tilt
February is a carbon copy of January in the best way possible. Average swell height remains at 1.3m (4ft), wave period stays solid at 8.3s, and the NE swell sector accounts for 86.1 percent of the total energy. The mid-range is stuffed with punchy 1-1.5m (3-5ft) surf and the 0.5-1m (2-3ft) bin still holds 13.1 percent, so the bank is rarely empty. Dry-season high pressure over the Atlantic keeps the trade wind belt locked in, and with 68 percent ideal wind days the surface clean-up is excellent. February also brings the driest skies of the year at just 2.01mm/day of rain, making it one of the most reliable months for a long, uncrowded session at Careneros.
