Conditions at El Mongol in February
February: Consistent North Atlantic Pulse
February stays in the heavy winter groove. The average swell is again 6ft (1.8m) with a long 12.6s period, and NW accounts for 38% of observations, with another 34% split between NNW and WNW. That means a very exposed, open-ocean window. Ideal S/SSW/SW winds blow about 50% of the time, and the wind rose is a mix of ENE, W, WSW and S flows, so waiting for the right wind quadrant is essential. The biggest risk is the wind swinging into the north and northwest and turning the surface lumpy. Air temperatures average 9.1°C, water temperature drops to 12.8°C, and precipitation runs at 2.67mm/day. The Atlantic low-pressure train is still firmly in charge.
