Conditions at Barrio in February
February: Consistent Size, Persistent Onshore Flow
February is a carbon copy of January in many ways, though the average swell height eases to 5.2ft (1.6m) with a period of 9.4s. The swell window is split almost evenly between NE at 49% and ENE at 43%, with the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) and 5-6.5ft (1.5-2m) classes dominating. The wind, however, remains the main obstacle. ENE is the most common wind direction at 32%, followed by NE at 24% and E at 17%, and the bulk of these observations come in at 20-40kph. Ideal offshore conditions are measured at only 3%, which means most days will have a raw, choppy texture. The morning hours still offer the best chance of a workable surface, especially when a brief land breeze fights against the trades. With a water temperature of 27.6°C, it is a month for solid, punchy surf rather than perfection.
