Conditions at Ilha dos Lobos in February
February: Still Simmering, But Opportunity Grows
February remains hot and humid, with average air temperatures around 22.6°C and water temp climbing to 23.8°C, the warmest of the year. The wind field is still trade-dominated -- NE (16.3%), NNE (13.1%) and ENE (13.0%) are the main directions -- but ideal surfing wind ticks up to 35%. The general swell pattern is similar to January: E and ESE windswell make up a bulk of the wave energy (E 21.5%, ESE 22.0%, ENE 17.5%), with average heights holding at 1.4m (4-5ft) and period at 8.3s.
The subtle difference is more organized SE energy. SE and SSE combine for more than 28% of the wave distribution, and some of those swells push into the 1.5-2m (5-6.5ft) range. While the trades tend to add surface chop, February can serve up clean mornings with offshore W/NW flow when a cold front lingers to the south. It is still low season overall, but the windows are a little easier to find than in January.
