February: A Touch More Swell, A Better Wind Window
February brings a modest step up in energy to around 5ft (1.5m) average swell height and a 13.1s average period. The source remains locked in the SSW/SW quadrant: SSW accounts for 77.3 percent of the total and SW another 21.6 percent, with a clear increase in the 5-6ft (1.5-2m) and 6-8ft (2-2.5m) categories compared with January. The wave direction is dialed in for Pulpos' southwest exposure, and solid SSW groundswell is already showing up on the better days.
The wind also improves slightly. Ideal offshore conditions jump to 5 percent of the time, one of the best monthly scores of the year. Winds are still dominated by SSW at 28.9 percent, SW at 25.2 percent and S at 20.5 percent, but the speeds remain mostly under 10kph, so the chop is not extreme. With air temperatures at 21.4°C and water temperature at 19.8°C, February is warm, mostly small-to-moderate, and well worth keeping an eye on for early-morning windows.
