Conditions at Praia do Silveira in February
February: More Trade Chop, Same Warm-Water Fun
February looks similar to January, with the average swell height still at 1.2m (4ft) and the period at 8.1s. The swell direction spectrum is even more evenly split between E (23.5 percent), ESE (24.5 percent), ENE (19.6 percent) and SE (18.3 percent), meaning the beach is constantly receiving small- to medium-size trade swell. The extra SE component gives the lineup slightly more push than dead-flat summer days, but the onshore/cross-shore wind regime remains the main obstacle. NNE wind (20.2 percent) is again the dominant direction and NE adds 11.6 percent; the offshore W/WNW/NW quadrant is negligible. Ideal conditions are only 25 percent of the time. The positive this month: water temperature peaks at 25.7°C (78.3°F) and air temperatures hover around 23.8°C, so the beach is warm and inviting. Just don't expect much power-the short 8-second period keeps things in the average, punchy category, with the odd 1.5-2m ESE set providing the best shape.
