Conditions at Playa Teta in February
February: More of the Same Northern Windswell
February keeps the northern-hemisphere trade pattern locked in. NNW wind remains dominant at 80%, with N adding another 13%, and once again Playa Teta gets plenty of clean, offshore mornings. However, the swells are still arriving from N, NNE and NNW, over 68% combined, while the south-to-southwest window that actually lights up this stretch of coast remains starved at around 16%. Average wave height drops slightly to 2-3ft (0.7m), so most waves are in the 2-3ft (0.5-1m) category. The average period ticks up to 9.1s, a hint of better organization, but it is not yet the long-period punch the spot needs. Ideal wind drops to 49%, meaning more afternoons with variable or onshore flow. With water temperature at 26.6°C and just 0.36mm/day of rain, it is beautiful beach weather, but small and marginal for surfing.
