February: Small and Offshores
February is the lowest-energy month at Playa Serena. Average swell height slips to 0.6m (2ft), average period improves slightly to 10.4s, but the ideal wind frequency drops to 39% for the year. The swell spectrum is still mixed between NNW/N windswell and small SSW/SW pulses; the SSW/SW/WSW quadrant totals roughly 40%, yet hardly any wave approaches the 1-1.5m (3.3-4.9ft) range. Winds are dominated by a strong dry-season NNW flow at 66.4%, with N adding 17.4%, and speeds often reach 10-30kph, which can groom but also ruffle a small south swell. With the driest weather of the year at only 0.36mm/day, air around 26.0°C and water at 26.6°C, February is clean but marginal.
