Conditions at La Ocho in February
February: Still Waiting on the North Atlantic
February mirrors January: 3ft (0.9m) average swell, 6.2s period, and 40% ideal wind. The dominant E (44.7%) and ESE (42.4%) swell directions keep La Ocho in a diagonal, cross-onshore pattern that doesn't suit the north-facing layout. There is a tiny uptick in N/NNE/NE energy, but it is not enough to produce reliable waves. Trade winds from E and ENE still blow more than half the time, and the S/SW quadrant remains nearly nonexistent. With air temperatures around 24.9°C and water temperature slightly cooler at 26.3°C, the wet season eases down to 2.3mm/day-a minor plus for comfort. If you score a day with a southerly breeze and a fading E/ESE swell, you can find clean, waist-to-shoulder-high lines.
