Conditions at Canide Norte in February

February: Winter's Second Act - Same Power, Slightly Warmer Days

February remains deep in prime season. Swell averages 1.7m (5.6ft) at 12.6s, with WNW (43.7%), NW (21.1%) and W (15.9%) continuing to light up the beach. There is still plenty of muscle in the water: roughly two-thirds of the swell sits between 1m and 2.5m (3.3-8.2ft), and those long-period lines pack a serious punch on the sandbars. The wind regime is a little less clean than January, with ideal offshore flow showing up 43% of the time, but the eastern quadrant still delivers enough clean windows to keep the period exciting. Water temperature drops slightly to 13.2°C, air temp averages 10.8°C, and rainfall eases to 3.16mm/day. February is often the quietest winter month crowd-wise, making the good days even sweeter.
