Conditions at Cabo Ledo in February
February: Warm Water and the Waiting Game
February follows a similar script to January, but the ocean warms to 27.7°C and the rainy season starts to peak. Average swell height remains at 3ft (1.0m), while the period holds at a respectable 12 seconds. The wave direction is once again locked in the SSW/SW quadrant, with SSW providing 54 percent of the energy and SW another 45 percent; true NW swell is completely absent from the data.
Waist-to-chest-high sets are the standard, though the long period gives them more push than the height suggests. Winds stay offshore 65 percent of the time, though a few afternoon WSW sea-breezes can fatten the surface. When a South Atlantic low drifts far to the east, expect short windows of clean 3-4ft (1-1.2m) lines. This is not the month for big Cabo Ledo, but it remains a reliable month for groveling and logging.
