February: Consistent Midwinter Swell and the Hunt for Clean Windows
February mirrors January's strength, averaging 6ft (1.9m) at 9.7s. ENE swell remains the workhorse at 41.6%, with NE adding another 20.8%; NNE contributes 11.5% and NNW/N directions hold around 8%. The mid-period nature of this swell keeps it powerful and rideable, but the direction still favors the northernmost windows. Trade winds continue to dominate, with ENE/E frequencies above 30% each, and favorable wind days remain about 40%. The classic February score at Playa Jobos happens when a weak low pressure trough drifts south of the Azores/Bermuda High, dragging the wind around to the SSW and allowing the ENE swell to wrap in with clean surfaces. With water temperature at 26.3°C and air temps at 25°C, the setup is pure tropical winter. Rainfall is low at 1.85mm/day.
