Conditions at Mejillones in February
February: Deep-Water Punch and Winter Walls
February keeps the winter momentum with an average swell height of 2.2m (7ft) and an average period of 12.5s. The directional spread is very similar to January-NNW dominates with 33.9 percent, NW follows with 19.0 percent and N contributes 7.8 percent-so the beach sections continue to see consistent, organized NW/NNW groundswell. Wind is tougher: NNE and NE together make up 47 percent of all observations, and those are the directions that most often ruin the face at Mejillones. Only 14 percent of the time is truly ideal, usually when high pressure drifts over the Mediterranean and lets S/SSW/SW flow blow offshore. Water temperature eases to 18.3°C and average precipitation rises slightly to 0.53mm/day. It is still full-on surf season-just pick your window carefully, because when it is clean, this is powerful, draining winter surf.
