Conditions at La Pared in February
February: Still Peak Season, With Slightly Softer Energy
February is essentially a carbon copy of January at first glance: average swell height is again around 5-6ft (1.5-1.8m), average period 8.7s, and ENE/NE swells dominate with 40.0% and 23.0% respectively. Another 14.2% comes from NNE, while N and NNW combine for 9.7%. It is powerful, consistent, and packed with north-northeast energy, but the truly favorable NNW-to-W swells remain scarce. When the N/NNW component does show up, La Pared can turn on with punchy, head-high-plus surf.
The wind distribution remains unfavorable. E winds account for 36.2%, ENE for 22.3%, and ESE for 18.8%, almost all in the 10-30kph range, creating onshore surface conditions. Ideal wind blows only 6 percent of the time. That makes February a month of high swell potential and frequent disappointment, though the warm water (26.2°C) and mild air (25.2°C) keep it comfortable. The short windows around dawn, when the trades are lightest, are your best bet.
