Conditions at Laredo in February
February: Consistent Long-Period West-Northwest Energy
February remains fully inside the winter window, with average waves still at 2.0m (6-7ft) and periods holding at 12.8s. The dominant swell directions are again WNW, NW and NNW, and there is a slight increase in NNE swell compared with January, giving Laredo a few more days of optimum direction. Ideal offshore wind drops to 45%, still solid for the north coast; the best setups come when a slow-moving Atlantic low sends long-period NW swell while a S/SW flow blows offshore. Water temperature reaches its coldest annual value at 12.6C, so winter rubber remains essential. Don't expect groundswell to be perfect every day, but February's consistent energy means plenty of 4-8ft (1.2-2.4m) walls for those willing to read the winds and pick the windows.
