Conditions at Tocones in February
February: Still Searching for North Swell
February follows the same script as January: 3ft (0.9m) average swell, a 6.2s period, and a wave rose that refuses to point north. E swell accounts for 45%, ESE for 42%, with ENE and SE filling in much of the rest. Waves in the 3-5ft (1-1.5m) range still appear about 29% of the time. The wind is favorable 27% of the time, but E winds dominate at 36%, with ENE adding 19%, making cross-shore texture the norm. Water temperature remains warm at 26.3°C, air temperature sits near 24.9°C, and precipitation is low at 2.26 mm/day. A strong positive-NAO pattern in the Atlantic is Tocones' best hope for a proper N-NNW pulse, but climatologically these pulses are the exception, not the rule.
